Bengaluru: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah has watched the much-talked about movie Baahubali 2 with his family. Siddaramaiah reportedly paid more than Rs 1,000 for a single ticket for 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' on May 1.

Siddaramaiah watching Baahubali by paying a huge price has now turned out to be an embarrassing moment for the government, as he had promised to cap the ticket price at Rs 200 at all single screens and multiplexes. The delay in signing the order plus the CM himself watching the movie at double the rate as put the government in a fix.

According to reports, Siddaramaiah along with his son Yathindra and grandchildren watched the 1.30 pm show at the City's Orion Mall in Golden Class. The CM was accompanied by 48 people, including KPCC president and home minister G. Parameshwara and infrastructure development minister Roshan Baig.
