The tickets issue in Andhra Pradesh has now prolonged to such an extent that producers are now opting for a direct OTT release. Among these producers, at the forefront is Suresh Babu. The ace producer’s last two films Narappa and Drushyam 2 have both been released on Amazon Prime Video much to the shock of industry insiders fans.
Suresh Babu has also hinted that his next 3 films will also release on OTT platforms. While this has surprised many, the real issue seems to be much bigger than expected.
According to reports, the entire ticket prices issue started because of Rama Naidu studios in Vizag. The Andhra Pradesh government wanted to acquire the land owned by the studios. Suresh Babu opposed this move strongly and objected to any kind of acquisition of land owned by him. This has resulted in the government taking the decision of bringing in the ticket prices GO which has affected the industry badly.
It needs to be seen what kind of conclusion is drawn to this much-prolonged ticket issue.
