Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani sir, I understand government might intervene and fix a price below or above the equilibrium when there’s a dire shortage of an essential commodity like wheat, rice , kerosene oil etc , But how does that apply to films sir ?

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir,It’s basics of economics that a forced lowering of price even in food grains will make farmers lose motivation thus causing shortages creating lack of quality, and the same theory will also apply to Film production sir

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani sir ,in case you feel cinema is so essential for the poor then why doesn’t the government subsidise it like how you do it for medical and educational services by paying the balance from the government’s pocket sir ?

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir, administered price is fixed by the government below or above the equilibrium in specific situations . What specific situation did you recognise in the present day film industry scenario sir ?

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir, isn’t it a proven thing that though government’s price control’s intention could be for affordability and stability it has always had an opposite effect such as creating shortages and deterioration of product quality

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir, I would like your honourable team to understand that pricing of heroes like @alluarjun @pawankalyan @urstrulymahesh etc is nothing but a subtract between production cost and the expected recovery based on track record

Dear honourable minister of cinematography @perni_nani Sir, I would request you to understand that your government has been given power to support from the bottom and not to sit on the top of our heads ..Thank you very much 🙏

From these tweets, you must have understood why their tweets become viral as soon as they come on social media and become a part of the controversy. He has made many such tweets before this too, due to which he comes in limelight. From his films to his words, people no longer take him seriously. This time he has made many tweets one after the other, which in itself seems very strange.
