Devara Special Shows: A Controversial Political Game?

The controversy surrounding the special shows of *Devara* in Nizamabad continues to simmer. Distributors have proposed a novel approach, aiming to legitimize special shows for the first time by introducing government-issued tickets priced at a hefty ₹1,000. This strategic move seeks to garner government support and alleviate concerns about the legality of such screenings.

However, beneath this seemingly straightforward proposal lies a layer of political maneuvering. Distributors anticipate that special shows with ₹1,000 tickets will be restricted to single-screen theaters. This is because multiplexes typically operate on a 50-50 profit-sharing model, requiring them to surrender half of the ticket revenue. In contrast, single-screen theaters would retain a significantly larger portion of the earnings.

While these negotiations are underway, the police department has yet to grant permission for late-night, one-hour shows. The *Devara* team and distributors believe that delaying the release by four hours could mitigate potential controversies. This strategic move aims to prevent negative publicity and ensure a smooth release.

As the situation evolves, the coming days will shed light on the final outcome of these discussions and determine the fate of special shows for *Devara* in Nizamabad.
