Film fraternity firm on tax relief demand

Subramaniam told DT Next, “We haven’t hiked the prices effective Monday and the prices will remain the same even for Tuesday’s evening shows.” Meanwhile, Deepak Asher, President of Multiplex Association of India said, “We request the state to consider our request and withdraw the Local Body Entertainment Tax levied in Chennai immediately.
