Powerstar Pawan Kalyan finds himself in a tricky position as his upcoming films Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG will be released in the coming months. Now serving as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan faces a potential conflict of interest in the debate over the rise in ticket prices.
“As an actor, Pawan has always supported ticket price flexibility due to the escalation of production costs. He even advocated that producers could control pricing when the YS Jagan-led government was in power. However, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is scheduled to be released in May in May, and after work he will announce the issue on the issue.”
Meanwhile, about 1,200 exhibitors in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana urged their respective governments to regulate ticket prices, believing that the skyrocketing rates are hurting the theater’s footprint and threatening the survival of single-screens. “He recently refused to meet with major exhibitors from Andhra Pradesh and instead suggested they approach Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Andhra Pradesh ticket prices range from Rs 200 to Rs 200 for lower seats to Rs 1,200 to the high theaters of the high theaters, and now there are a few days of trials away from the 100th day, which is a 100 or 100 day trial. The weekend unfolds,” the exhibitor added.
Pawan Kalyan, who has long advocated industry-friendly policies, now finds himself balancing his political and film interests. It seems likely to be a markup increase as both Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG both have budgets of over Rs 200 crore. However, Sankranthiki Vasthunam has recently achieved success with regular ticket prices, sparking discussions about the feasibility of maintaining lower prices. The final decision on fares is expected in the next few weeks.
