After the unfortunate Sandhya Theatre incident, where a woman lost her life, the state government’s recent decisions have sparked a major discussion within the film industry.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s attack on Allu Arjun, coupled with his strong comments about the film industry, quickly became a hot topic. The announcement regarding the hike in ticket prices and the cancellation of special shows (benefit shows) permissions has left the industry in shock.

With big-budget pan-India films like Game Changer set to release during the Sankranti season, Revanth Reddy’s decisions have caused panic among producers, buyers, and theater owners. They are now worried about the potential impact on their box office performance.
Producer Dil Raju has invested over 300 crores in Game Changer. Without the ticket price hike and the absence of special shows, there is a risk of losing out on a significant chunk of revenue.

Sankranti is a lucrative season where people are ready to spend a lot on movies. In such a scenario, if the government doesn’t give permission for price hikes, then it is going to be a huge loss for pan-India movies like Game Changer, especially in Nizam, a crucial market for Telugu films.
Other films like Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Vishwambhara, and The Raja Saab could also be affected by these changes.

While Andhra Pradesh does have such issues, Revanth Reddy’s latest announcements could create significant problems for films reliant on the Nizam market.
Although Dil Raju serves as the Chairman of the Telangana Film Federation, it is uncertain how much influence he will have in changing the government’s stance.
There are speculations that Dil Raju may try to secure exemptions for Game Changer and other major projects. However, Revanth Reddy is currently in no mood to favor the Telugu film industry. His recent actions suggest that he is extremely angry over the developments of the past few days.
It remains to be seen how Dil Raju will approach Revanth Reddy. Will he request that at least ticket price hikes be allowed for Game Changer? What promises might he make on behalf of the Telugu film industry to convince Revanth to reconsider his decision?
Alternatively, Dil Raju may have to accept the situation and align himself with the government’s decisions without attempting to change Revanth’s stance.
