Naga Vamsi, who is known for his bold or controversial statements, once again fires off with another banger statement, this time calling out how social media has killed the magic of our ’90s nostalgia. He even takes a dig at the same platforms that branded iBomma Ravi as ‘Robin Hood’ during the Epic movie’s Teaser Glimpse Launch event.
This is certainly a valid point in Naga Vamsi’s statement, as audiences and some sections of social media, even some public leaders, supported the iBomma piracy site and said that Immadi Ravi did not do anything wrong.
There is nothing wrong with voicing concerns about the high ticket prices, but seeing industry people as criminals and supporting the people who are committing real crimes and giving elevations to them like Robinhood is not at all a good thing.
The public’s misconception about the film industry worsens the distance between the two parties
Not only piracy sites, but the police said that iBomma Ravi even stole the public’s personal data, which would lead them to betting apps, and he even sold the personal data of the public along with pirating the movies. All these are illegal activities; still, if he is being elevated as a hero, then it is a very bad thing or situation.
Observing the public mindset, a significant portion has stopped going to theaters due to exorbitant ticket prices over the past decade. Furthermore, many hold a negative view of the film industry, seeing it as a money-grabbing industry with millionaires who disregard society and common people.
Due to this misconception, people support anyone against movies or those who harm them. However, filmmakers, producers, and industry insiders often unnecessarily offend the public by comparing ticket prices to food or other items, attempting to justify exorbitant pricing.
