South star Pawan Kalyan wonders why the national anthem is played in cinema halls. Addressing a gathering of students at Kurnool, he said that one goes to a theatre for entertainment.
"Playing of the national anthem (in cinema theatres)... is it done to showcase your patriotism in cinema theatres? You go to a cinema theatre to throw flowers and if you listen to the national anthem at that time.... how will you feel?"
