Ever since Dil Raju has been trying to block theaters for Varisu, problems started in tollywood. This is getting overboard, now the issue has crossed borders and Tamil producers are involving to make the gap grow big.
At the center of the issue is Dil Raju who had issued statements during 2019 Sankranthi that dubbed films must get secondary preference only. This led to netizens and Telugu producers organizations complaining foul play in Varisu getting more quality theaters at the cost of Telugu films.
Dil Raju has been maintaining silence but pulling the right strings to advance his interests. Allu Aravind came in defense of Dil Raju that dubbing films can’t be restricted anymore in pan India era. This is becoming a kind of mafia.
Since it is their interest, they mend ways to get more theaters. When it was a movie of a small producer who bought Petta for 2019 sankranti, even though Rajinikanth has bigger market than Vijay, he didn’t get enough theaters. It isn’t the matter of the language or state, all that matters is power.
If the producer is influential like Dil Raju or Allu Aravind, they can get theaters anyway. Small producers struggle, giving language color to the issue is misleading.
Meanwhile, Tamil producers are overreacting as if their movies had never seen enough access to theaters. According to sources, Tamil movies has 20% of their revenue from Telugu states. Telugu movies have hardly made money except for Rajamouli movies.
The Pan India phenomenon is just a recent one. They complaining about theaters restriction is silly. They should’ve raised voice during Petta issue, but they remained silent during the genuine concern of Petta Telugu distributor but when Dil Raju is allocating more theaters than required for Varisu, they are threatening unnecessarily in a harsh tone.
