The last few weeks have been absolutely disappointing for Telugu cinema fans as well as filmmakers. Due to continuous disasters producers had a meeting and stopped the shootings to reduce the budget of the film.
Owing to this decision to stop the shooting of movies, over 30+ films are being stopped. Chiranjeevi’s Godfather, Ravi Teja’s Ravanasura, Ram Charan’s RC15, and Prabhas’ Project K to just name a few. The Guild has assured the makers that the shooting can be commenced in one to two weeks at the least.
No one knows when everything will get back on track but TFI needs a huge blockbuster now to prove the producer’s decision wrong. Most of the industry people are still feeling the content of the recent Telugu releases is bad hence the audience are not interested to watch the movie in theatres.
Many believe if the content is good then the audience will definitely come to theatres. Industry insiders, as well as fans, are hoping this weekend’s releases will change the situation. Both Sita Ramam and Bimbisara are carrying positive reports and if they get positive word of mouth, then Tollywood will certainly get that elusive hit.
