stated by the Informant that the OP was indirectly involved in the production of film Brahmastra , as consequence of which, the film received preferential treatment. This preferential treatment allegedly contained playing multiple trailers of the film free of cost, putting up huge banners and LED displays, assigning overwhelming number of screens for its screening etc., so much so that, except “ Brahmastra ” other films got almost no space in the first week of its release. It has also been stated that the OP, for the promotion of the film RRR , entered into a special tie-up with the filmmaker and changed its brand identity and logo from “ PVR ” to “ PVRRR ”. OP is also alleged to have entered into a tie-up with Aamir Khan Productions for film “ Laal Singh Chaddha ” where overwhelming number of screens were allotted to it and remaining screens were allotted to another prominent filmmaker, Akshay Kumar, leaving no screens available for the films made by the independent film makers. Thus, OP allots almost all of its screens to the films of large production houses in their release week, thereby banning the entry of films by independent filmmakers.
