Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 4 has been doing extremely well at the Box Office as the film has collected 110 crores approx in 5 days. The audience has come in and has lapped up the comedy film warmly but the media and a section of trade are bashing it for its content and allegedly inflated figures.

Filmmaker and entrepreneur, Ronnie Screwvala also spoke about the rising trend of inflation in the industry. His tweet read as, “Isn’t it time everyone reports Box Office numbers accurately! @KomalNahta @taran_adarsh … accuracy of information builds CREDIBILITY which the movie industry needs so badly … and not sure how long-to appease egos will Studios and all keep encouraging pumped up data on numbers”.

However, when his tweet went viral and people started relating it to the alleged inflation done by Housefull‘s producers, he later clarified that he didn’t mean it for one particular film. His tweet read as, “Just to clarify that my tweet was not directed at any one movie ( as is being wrongly assumed ) but just an overall comment for the future + my reasons to tag some of the industry authorities was because they can make a difference to the credibility – happy Diwali”.
