The confusion of ticket rates was hanging like a 'Damocles sword' when movies were getting ready for release this Pongal.

The reduction in cinema ticket rates forced the theatre owners to come to a decision that in the name of minimum guarantee, no advance will be given to distributors.

Annoyed with the decision of the theatre-owners, the distributors had no other option but to approach the producers urging them to reduce the price of the movie for the areas.

In turn, the producers were compelled to turn towards the artistes urging them to refund a part of their remuneration to appease the distributors.

Now, it is reported that Ajith immediately paid heed to their request and returned a part of his salary that amounts to quite a sum. It may be recalled that on earlier occasions too, Ajith had cut down on his remuneration whenever crisis surfaced.

Generosity personified is Ajith.
