Of late, we have been hearing increased cases of fans getting overtly aggressive and damaging the screens. This usually happens in the case of re-releases and that is why major single-screen owners have stopped re-releases in their theaters.
But this time around, a disaster struck a film theater in Andhra Pradesh as overenthusiastic fans lit fire inside a film theater. This happened during the re-release of Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu.
In a set of viral videos, we see fans lighting up papers and celebrating inside the theater. This is not just a grave sign of danger to the theater property but also the safety of the fans themselves. Putting fire inside closed-door theaters is nothing but playing with danger.
Not stopping at that, fans are seen throwing more papers to heighten the fire and are even stepping in it out of euphoria.
Celebrating a film in theaters is one thing but lighting up fire inside the theater is a completely different level of absurdity. This puts everyone at a huge risk. This trend needs to stop as soon as possible.
