The silence of the AP Government over Bangarraju’s ticket rates has raised new questions. The ticket rates issue in Andhra Pradesh has been going on for a while now.
While most members from the Telugu film industry have opposed the new ticket rates, either directly or indirectly, Nagarjuna openly expressed his satisfaction with the current ticket rates in AP, creating controversy.
The AP government released a G.O recently with new ticket prices. The collectors strictly instructed theatres to sell tickets as per the G.O rates only. The government officials also conducted raids in various theatres to check the ticket rates. Various theatres that failed to stick to the new G.O were also shut down.
Just a few weeks back, Nani’s Shyam Singha Roy was also targeted with raids and shutdowns. But now, there seems to be silence over the ticket rates for Nagarjuna’s Bangarraju. The B and C centers are selling tickets for flat rates, and the government has chosen to stay silent.
There is a talk that the government has instructed theatres to hike ticket rates just before the Sankranthi releases. They have also assured the theatres that they will not interfere with the rates. This has served as a huge plus to Bangarraju, which is enjoying the benefits of hiked ticket rates and no occupancy restrictions till the 18th.
Maybe, this is why Nagarjuna said that he has no issue with the ticket rates in AP.
