Satish Kaushik Converts Trucks Into Theatres So That Villagers Can Watch Movies At Rs 35

Getting bored on a weekend and have nothing to do, what would you generally do? Most probably head to the nearest cinema hall and watch a movie, right?

In a country which is highly obsessed with movies and considers actors such as Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan among others as demi-gods, it¡¯s tough to stay away from the world of showbiz, isn¡¯t? For instance, when you weren¡¯t even interested in Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja¡¯s wedding, you watched all the inside videos and pictures because they were unavoidably all over the internet.

But what happens in a village? They don¡¯t have access to internet and movie theatres. There are some outstanding motivational films like Dangal, Padman and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha that is creating a rage in other countries, but back in our home country, people in rural areas have still not watched it. Besides, they have a right to entertainment, right?

To make things easier, actor Satish Kaushik is launching Mobile Digital Movie Theatre (MDMT). He is converting trucks into theatres that can travel across different villages so that people can watch movies between Rs 35 ¨C Rs 75.

Though the government is not funding the project, it will be launched today in Delhi by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and will hit the roads in a few days. Each of the truck will be named after a popular movie. The names include -- Mr India, Baahubali, Shehanshah and Don, reports Mid-day.

Furthermore, Kaushik feels that amid the real-estate prices soaring high, it is a nice initiate to provide entertainment to people in rural areas.
