Popular Kannada actor and activist Chetan joins the bandwagon to share his opinion on the 50% theatre occupancy. Taking no sides, he put forth his point pretty loud and clear. In his post, he throws light on the struggles of the other creative heads behind the camera who do not get their due.
"Many film stars call the 50% theatre occupancy issue injustice.
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.
