Ajay Devgn Talks About The Need For Box Office Transparency

In the Pinkvilla Masterclass hosted by Himesh Mankad, Ajay Devgn was asked about the need for box office transparency in a country like India, similar to that of China where collections are updated on an hourly basis and you get vital statistics like average ticket prices, the demographic of the audience and a lot more. To this, the Singham actor answered, "It is required and slowly, I think it is getting there. I guess it is getting there. So, in a couple of years, everything is going to be transparent." "It's already getting transparent", he said. Ace director Rohit Shetty was in total agreement of what the actor had to say about the need for box office transparency.
