Recently,
the
Supreme
Court
had
made
it
mandatory
to
play
the
National
Anthem
in
theatres,
before
starting
the
feature
presentation.
This
order
did
receive
mixed
reactions
from
various
parts
of
India.
Film-makers
and
actors
did
come
out
to
express
their
views
regarding
the
same.
Now,
prominent
actor-director
Vineeth
Sreenivasan,
has
come
up
with
his
views
on
the
same.
He
opened
about
his
views
in
Meet
The
Press
programme
which
was
held
at
Kottayam
Press
Club
in
connection
with
the
upcoming
film
Aby,
in
which
he
does
the
titular
role.
Vineeth
Sreenivasan
opined
that
this
new
rule
would
challenge
those
people
who
make
small
films
of
lesser
duration.
He
also
added
that
anything
outside
the
story
element
would
add
to
the
length
of
the
movie,
which
in
turn
might
affect
small
films,
especially
if
there
comes
a
situation
when
a
film
has
to
be
edited
due
to
running
time
issues.
The
actor-director
also
stated
that
audiences
would
be
ready
to
spend
more
than
3
hours
to
watch
superstar
movies,
but
other
movies
might
get
affected
if
the
duration
is
more.
Vineeth
Sreenivasan
also
affirmed
that
he
is
a
true
patriot
and
respects
the
National
Anthem.
