Pawan Kalyan, who attended the pre-release event of Republic the other night came up with a fierce and hard-hitting speech on the government of Andhra Pradesh. Pawan spoke at length about the struggles that are being faced by the Telugu cinema industry due to the alleged oppression by the government of Andhra Pradesh. Pawan stated that the state government will have to resolve the issues at the earliest or he knows how to deal with the situation and warned the state government of serious repercussions.
"How can the government of Andhra Pradesh look to poke its hand into a private investment body like the Telugu cinema industry? The government is planning to set up the online cinema ticketing portal just to pool in the financial resources and then approach banks in search of loans. This is all a big schematic implementation and the Telugu cinema industry should be aware of the same. It is high time that each and every one of us (Tollywood fraternity) speak against the oppression of the state government. Chiranjeevi recently requested the government. He is a good person at heart and that is the reason why he requested rather than demanding. Those in power will not listen if we request them. They will bow down only if we raise our voice for our rights," Pawan stated.
Adding further, Pawan Kalyan said "If the government wants to obstruct my film then so be it. Let them stop my films from releasing. But let the cinema industry strive. At least let us live peacefully."
Pawan went on to add that the government of Andhra Pradesh is following vendetta politics and it is high time that the entire industry unites against the oppression. "We are all in this together. It is upon us to settle the issue for good. If the government doesn't bow down, I know how to get things done. There will be some serious repercussions. I am not the kind of person who would bow down to the government if it comes out all guns blazing against me. I know what to do and when to do it." Pawan Kalyan concluded his speech.
