Expect Aamir Khan to come with something new for his films and considering that ‘PK’ is the last big release of the year, the actor wants to ensure that 2014 ends with a bang with record-breaking box office collections for his film. Amid touring cities in India for promotions, Aamir Khan has decided that this time around, the rates of tickets for ‘PK’ will not be as expensive as his previous film.
In fact, along with the distributors, the entire team made a collective decision to not hike the tickets prices for PK. The makers have decided to keep the ticket prices affordable for the audiences, so that they don’t feel the pinch on their pockets and also because more and more people will get a chance to watch the film this way.
‘Dhoom 3’ was the first Hindi film to release in IMAX. The ticket price of Aamir Khan’s last hit film ‘Dhoom 3’ ranged between Rs 250-500 in multiplexes and more in IMAX theatres and in single screens it ranged from Rs 70-120 and went up till Rs 250-300. The rates for the action-thriller were reportedly similar to that of ‘Chennai Express’.
