The prevailing situation in AP is causing great troubles to the entire trade circle. Films like Bheemla Nayak and Pushpa had great business in the other markets are suffering losses only in AP. The ticket pricing policies of AP Government are impacting the distributors and exhibitors to a great extent.
Speaking on the issue, former Film Chamber president NV Prasad said that the situation in the state has caused exhibitors to look for other businesses.
“This is not an attack on just Pawan Kalyan, this is an attack on the entire movie business. The AP Government is sending their officials for raids on the theatres causing great trouble to the exhibitors. The exhibitors are now looking for other means of survival and are leaving the theatre businesses,” he said.
NV Prasad had earlier lashed out at YCP MLA Prasanna Kumar Reddy for making ‘irresponsible’ statements on the film industry.
“The success rate in the film industry is 2-5%. Film producers spend crores of rupees to make films and more often than not, they suffer huge losses. There are a few producers who have lost everything and are taking a pension amount of Rs 3000 per month from the Producers’ council. That is how dire the situation can be. It is not right to speak ill of the film industry and its people,” he said.
