Telugu Film Chamber Fires Back at Minister’s Personal Attacks!

The Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, a top body representing the entire Telugu film industry in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, has expressed deep pain and frustration over the recent personal and unverified remarks made by a Telangana Minister on October 2, 2024, regarding members of the Telugu film fraternity. In its statement, the Chamber emphasized that celebrities and industry members have increasingly become easy targets for sensationalism. It reiterated that the entire Telugu film community stands united in opposing these baseless and harmful remarks aimed at gaining attention.

The Chamber highlighted the significant roles both the film industry and politics play in shaping society, urging that those in positions of power and influence should exercise their freedom of speech responsibly. It reminded that while films shape cultural narratives, politicians hold the power to impact public policy, and both sectors should work toward the greater good. The Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce stressed the importance of respecting the boundaries between these two spheres and avoiding misuse of influence for personal attacks.

The Chamber pointed out that this is not the first time such incidents have occurred, noting a disturbing trend of targeting the personal lives of Telugu film fraternity members to divert attention from critical issues. It called for an end to such tactics and emphasized that the film industry’s contributions to culture and public perspectives should be recognized with respect.

In conclusion, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce urged media outlets across all platforms to uphold ethical standards and refrain from participating in these divisive acts. The Chamber reiterated its commitment to standing by its members and taking necessary action against any attempts to defame or violate their personal lives, ensuring protection now and in the future.
