Vikramaditya Motwane disappointed over screen allotment to Pushpa 2

In his Instagram stories, the CTRL director wrote, “And yet, Payal’s incredible success will mean f**k all to us because we will throw her film out, not let it breathe or find an audience, and will have 36 shows a day of one film in a single multiplex. Congratulations. We deserve this.”

He later shared another screenshot of a news story where an insider shared that multiplexes were asked not to screen other films. He captioned it, writing, “Ah, the plot thickens… Not that we should start feeling sorry for our favorite multiplex chain (yeah, you know the one). The irony of them being strong-armed after they’ve done the exact same thing in the past multiple times to producers is just. Either way, this is a terrible precedent to set. Multiplexes cannot and should not be monopolised in this way. If every big film started doing this it would be disastrous.”
