Young and promising Telugu film director Nag Ashwin recently shared his views on movie exhibition and suggested that theaters should start serving liquor in order to revive themselves and increase footfalls in the post-coronavirus world.
Taking to Twitter, Nag Ashwin wrote, "Once in a talk with Suresh Babu garu and Rana, it came up what if theaters get license to serve beer/breezer/wine, like in other countries... could it increase footfalls (sic)."
"Could it save the theater business (which does need saving)... what do you think?" he added.
"Good idea, bad idea?" the director asked fellow netizens.

Nag Ashwin's views did not go down well with many on social media as they told him that theaters are a place where people visit with their families and that serving alcohol could increase chances of nuisance and instances of trouble making.

This is probably the most disgusting thing that I've heard.. Just imagine if any drunken person passed Or start behaving abusively, then most of the audience will suffer. This can turn and lose family audiences especially!! Hope this could not happen. BTW I'm ur FAN— Hello_Brother_2.0 (@HelloBrother202) May 15, 2020

Alcohlics in everywhere in the world r potential danger to society. Apart from all, the smell in the hall will be awful Its a bad idea— Chirpy17 (@Chirpy175) May 15, 2020
Nag Ashwin later agreed with people as he wrote, "So true...it will keep the family audience away...can be an option at few multiplexes maybe, but not a solution...wat do u think theaters need to do to get ppl back? to increase audience...will you come back as soon as theaters open or wait & watch for a few weeks before going (sic)?"
