A Victory for Pawan Kalyan's Movie Amidst Political Tensions
The political tussle between Pawan Kalyan and the Andhra Pradesh Government
By: Tupaki Desk | 27 July 2023 9:11 AM GMTThe political tussle between Pawan Kalyan and the Andhra Pradesh Government took a toll on the Telugu film industry, particularly after Pawan's speech at the pre-release event of Sai Dharam Tej's Republic movie. Pawan Kalyan, faced backlash from the government, which attempted to suppress the film industry by reducing ticket prices in theaters.
Though the ticket rates issue was eventually resolved with the intervention of renowned actors like Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu, and Prabhas, who met with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Pawan Kalyan's films continued to be targeted. Both Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak, Pawan's previous movies, were adversely affected in Andhra Pradesh due to the ongoing political conflict.
The government issued a new Government Order (G.O.) mandating lower ticket prices, and special shows faced restrictions, allowing only four shows per film. In contrast, Pawan Kalyan's upcoming film, 'Bro The Avatar', seems to have emerged unscathed from the political war, as the government's G.O. guidelines are being followed without any issues.
The film is permitted to have five shows per day, and ticket prices will adhere to the revised G.O. The movie's production team chose not to apply for a ticket price hike in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, ensuring that audiences can watch the film at affordable rates as per the government's directive.
Despite the challenges posed by the political feud, Bro The Avatar's smooth run in theaters indicates that the film industry remains resilient in the face of adversity. Fans and audiences can now look forward to enjoying Pawan Kalyan's latest offering without any disruption due to the prevailing political situation.
