The ongoing ticket prices issue has not seen any resolution and is being dragged. Amidst this another chance of another blow from the AP government to the film industry has cropped up. Balakrishna, earlier today called for a press meet and warned the YSRCP government that any unparliamentary language against women would not be tolerated. He further stated that the consequences will be unfavourable to the government next time around.
On one hand, when the industry is already suffering from the tickets issue, products, distributors, and exhibitors are concerned if this would have a negative impact on the upcoming films. The trade circles despite their dissent have been silent for months on the entire pricing fiasco fearing a backlash from the government.
However, there’s another belief that’s cropping up amongst the trade circles after Balayya’s attack. The industry insiders believe that it is time they stand for what is right and make their displeasure known.
Pawan Kalyan was the first person from the industry to have come ahead tearing the YSRCP government’s ticket policy into shreds. He openly stated during Republic pre-release event that the government has no right to interfere in pricing. However, this statement of Pawan found no support back them and the producers guild even issued a statement distancing themselves from his opinions. Even Powerstar’s own family didn’t support him back them fearing a backlash.
However, now things are changing. While the government has slightly eased its stance on the tickets, there are high chances of them tightening their noose after Balayya’s media statements. The trade circles are also of the opinion that a united stance on the matter is the only way and voicing dissent and standing up for their opinions is the only solution. Mere sycophancy towards the government would not benefit them in long run.
