Love Story producer Narayan Das Narang’s conflicting statements have been creating ruckus in TFI. Earlier in the month of September, he stated that Government of Andhra Pradesh is very helpful in reviving Telugu industry in the state but has flipped now.
He said that, “తెలంగాణలో రేట్లు బాగున్నాయి కానీ ఏపీలో పరిస్థితి బాగా లేదు. దేశం అంతా ఒక వైపు పోతోంటే మనం ఇంకో వైపు పోలేం కదా. కచ్చితంగా రేట్లు పెంచాల్సింది. మన దగ్గర ఉన్న థియేటర్లు దేశం ఎక్కడా లేవు. టికెట్ రేట్లను మరీ ఇంత తక్కువగా తగ్గించడంతో నిర్మాతలకు కష్టంగా మారింది.”
When we dived in a little, we got to know that Narayan Das Narag’s movie Love Story did very good at box office. The movie turned out profitable in all areas except in Andhra. The low ticket rates are one of the reason for this. Showing this as the reason, distributors from those territories are asking him to compensate their losses with Naga Shaurya’s Lakshya.
When Pawan Kalyan raised the ticket rate issue, he gave a statement saying it is an individual opinion and not something that TFI represents. So, as per his own logic should we ignore his opinion as it is his own problem and not industry’s?
Producers not having a stand and flipping once in a while is a threat to TFI. They should together take a stand and resolve these ticket issues for the good of industry.
