Apart from directing, producing and acting, Satish Kaushik is now working for a great cause. To make cinema accessible for people in smaller towns and rural parts of the country, Satish Kaushik has launched a make-shift theatre that will travel to villages on a truck. The Mobile Digital Movie Theatre (MDMT) will be launched in Delhi today by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The central government is helping the actor behind this great initiative. According to a leading daily, when asked about the range of the ticket price, Kaushik said that he intends to keep it between Rs 35 to Rs 75, based on how recent the film that is being screened is. The tickets will be available for purchase on the MDMT mobile application and the counter as well. The team is also planning to collaborate with ticketing websites like Bookmyshow.
"Though the government is not funding the initiative, it is supporting us by ensuring that we can seamlessly procure permissions, including for the use of land and deployment of fire and police officials. In fact, we are giving preferred ad space to them so that they can connect with the citizens."
Talking about the features of the mini cinema hall, he said, "Each MDMT will have a 22-foot screen with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. It will be air-conditioned and will seat around 200 people. The hall will only have one category of tickets as we want to offer affordable cinema."
There will be a total of Ten theatre units that will hit the roads in a couple of months, each of which is named after a famous Bollywood movie, or character. Names like Mr India, Baahubali, Shehanshah and Don are allotted to the trucks.
