. That's not #injustice
Injustice is when writers/directors who contribute so much to creative success of a film can't make a living and 'stars' are undeservedly glorified with cut-outs, fan clubs and bloated remunerations." he posted.


Talking about the definition of injustice, the actor says that while many film stars are calling the 50% theatre occupancy as 'injustice', the real injustice is the fact that many writers/directors who contribute so much to creative success of a film struggle to make ends meet. And, the film's actors are undeservedly glorified. The actor has many a times been seen sharing his strong views about the industry and the recent 50% issue also caught his attention.

This post comes in after, Sandalwood actors have strongly reacted to the 50% occupancy in theatres. The state government's decision to restrict movie hall occupancy to 50% yet again, only a day after the release of Puneeth Rajkumar's much-awaited Yuvarathnaa caused the team much dismay. Recently, actor Sriimurali also sahred his dissappointment over government's decision to reduce occupancy.
