Actor
Aamir
Khan
is
worried
about
reports
that
the
ticket
rates
for
his
film
Dhoom
3,
releasing
Friday,
have
been
increased.
He
says
it's
a
"misconception" and
that
he
wants
all
audiences
to
watch
the
action
adventure
film
as
per
their
own
budget
-
whether
for
Rs.70
or
Rs.700.
"If
there
is
this
misconception
that
the
ticket
prices
for
Dhoom
3
have
been
increased,
then
the
audience
will
not
come
to
watch
the
film
in
theatres.
For
the
past
two
to
three
days
I
have
been
worried
about
this," Aamir
told
reporters
at
a
press
conference
here
Thursday
afternoon.
The
actor,
who
plays
an
antagonist
in
the
movie,
has
urged
the
media
to
avoid
'spreading
this
word'.
"I
want
everyone
to
watch
this
film
in
their
own
budget.
In
Mumbai,
there
is
a
theater
like
Gaiety
Galaxy
where
you
get
to
see
the
film
in
Rs.70.
"The
ticket
price
for
Dhoom
3
is
exactly
like
that
of
Chennai
Express.
It's
the
same
rate
and
in
no
theatres
the
ticket
rate
has
been
increased.
I
want
to
clarify
this.
There
is
not
even
one
percent
of
increase
in
the
ticket
price,"
Aamir
said.
However,
he
pointed
out
that
Dhoom
3
is
the
first
Bollywood
film
to
be
released
in
the
IMAX
format,
a
specialised
film
format.
And
ticket
rates
at
IMAX
theatres
are
usually
higher
as
compared
to
other
theatres.
"There
are
a
total
four
to
five
theaters
of
IMAX
in
India
-
two
in
Mumbai,
one
in
Hyderabad
and
other
one
in
Bangalore.
The
movie
is
coming
in
around
4,000
screens
across
India,
so
apart
from
those
four
screens,
the
rest
of
the
screens
will
have
the
same
ticket
price
as
of
previous
films."
"This
is
the
first
Indian
film
in
IMAX
and
the
ticket
rates
of
IMAX
is
more
than
other
tickets.
If
you
want
to
see
in
IMAX
the
price
will
be
as
per
IMAX
standards,"
he
added.
The
IMAX
screens
have
set
their
prices
at
Rs.400-600
for
the
morning
shows
and
Rs.700-900
for
the
night
shows,
according
to
their
official
website.

Kaif,
