Mumbai, May 3 - Marvel Studios' upcoming big-ticket entertainer "Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness" is getting ready to be released in the Indian theaters on May 6 in English, Hindi, and Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

While the curiosity among the fans for "Doctor Strange 2" is sky-high, the movie might not be played in Mumbai's G7 multiplex and Maratha Mandir Cinema due to high ticket prices. Manoj Desai, executive director, G7 multiplex, and Maratha Mandir Cinema has refused to play the Benedict Cumberbatch-starrer with high ticket prices.



According to Bollywood Hungama, Manoj Desai told, "Vinay Choksey, who is the booker of Gaiety-Galaxy aka G7 multiplex and Maratha Mandir, told me that Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness will be given to us only if we agree to increase the ticket rates. However, Mr. Arun Nahar, the managing director of our cinema, is not in favour of increasing rates by even one rupee for this film. He said that we'll happily play the film at the current rates and that we are not ready to inflate the prices".

It is not the first time Manoj Desai has refused to play movies in his cinemas due to overpricing. Earlier, he didn't release the Aamir Khan-starrer PK (2014) when distributors of PK had asked him to charge Rs. 150 and Rs. 250 from the public. At that time, the average ticket price was Rs. 80 and Rs. 100.

The same thing arise when Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" was released in 2019. At that time, Manoj Desai was asked to charge a minimum of Rs. 250 per ticket from the public in G-7 Multiplex and Maratha Mandir. Desai had refused to play the movie at such rates which forced the distributors to reduce the price in order the get the movie released.
