Superstar Shah Rukh Khan said the onus of the rising prices of movie tickets in the country must be borne by film stars like him. Despite the fact that movie-watching had become a costly affair today, the actor said no other platform can offer "the real romance" of cinema to the audience. "Obviously, some of us stars are also to be blamed, because we keep our ticket prices high when we release them on weekends. Movies have become expensive.

There are all kinds of platforms that give you different choices. But movie theatre is the real romance. They are places where the community gets together. I always say 'We can't laugh alone'. And as long as that is true about humanity, cinema theatres will prosper," he said, adding the country needs more theatres.
