Addressing the question, Naga Vamsi replied, “If you are a reviewer, buy the ticket, watch my film, and then post the review. Why is it that I have to give the ticket for you to review my film?”
When asked about why there was a special screening on Saturday, Naga Vamsi replied that it was his wish to screen the film for families.
The producer said, “The media is also part of the industry, so I want them to come with their families and watch the film on a Saturday evening. If you do not wish to come, you don’t have to.”
Vishwak Sen pitches his plan for media screenings
Gangs of Godavari lead actor, who was also present at the press meet, proposed his plan for the special shows. “I want to break the pattern,” the actor said.
Revealing his plan, Vishwak said that all the media folks should not watch the film in one theatre. Sen suggested, “Let’s divide them into 3, so 33% in each theatre. Sometimes you people watch some good films silently. Please watch the movie with the audience instead, you can also enjoy it.”
Although Naga Vamsi didn’t appear too satisfied with the idea, he smiled it off as Vishwak attempted to convince the media.
For unversed, Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films (YRF) never screen their films to the press and reviewers till the day of release.
