Recently, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) issued a Government Order (GO) announcing a new movie ticket portal. The YSRCP Government passed the order to set up a State run website for the online sale of cinema tickets in both single and multiplex theatres.
The decision to enter the business of movie tickets was taken to ensure corruption free ticket selling and tax evasion from private companies.
The sudden issued order of the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy Government shocked the people of the Tollywood Industry and Cineplex and Multiplex businessmen.

The minister said the online ticketing policy was already in place and was not a new government initiative.
Minister Mr. Perni Nani said the producers had come to discuss the developments taking place in the industry. He said, “The industry as a whole is in solidarity and the producers explained that they would get in trouble if the ticket price was low and that the cost of production would also go up.”
Mr. Perni Nani said that at the time Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to respond positively to their appeals unfortunate consequences have come to the fore due to a movie star.
