Theatre owners not allowed to screen any other film: 'Pyre' director on 'Ramayana' screen row

'Pyre' director Vinod Kapri, who alleged his film's screens were reduced after 'Ramayana' release, claimed theatre owners aren't allowed to screen any other film despite running empty. "It's the first time I've seen something like this...You'd rather have empty theatres than screen another film," said Kapri. In Pithoragarh, only 42 tickets were sold across seven shows of 'Ramayana', he added.
