Everyone who is aware of the Telugu film industry’s proceedings and the changes in its market and other issues knows about the ticket rates problem which the industry has faced during for almost a year from 2021 to 2022 summer. The difficulty sorted on the release day of Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab, and it was sorted out at the release time of Prabhas’s Radhe Shyam.

The government of Andhra Pradesh had put a decent and affordable ticket prices for the audience. From then, almost all the films followed the new GO prices and if anyone wanted a hike in their prices would have asked the government for the hike through an official process presenting some documents which have to contain certain details about the film’s budget etc.

However, a few theater owners/distributors in Andhra Pradesh are ignoring the government’s set ticket prices and charging more than twice as much in the recent days it seems.

It is unclear why the government is not stopping this, and even the online booking platforms are also allowing the distributors to do this rate fudging officially. The prices are putting a burden on the audiences.

Tollywood: Both heroes and directors altering pay structures

0

Normally, Heroes and directors do not involve in the remunerations few years back as the movies were being made on a record budget. That is why the heroes and directors have started to share the percentage in movies’ business to make it easy for producers

Cut to the present, not only star heroes or directors, even the Tier 2 Heroes and directors doing the same as non-theatrical business has increased by miles and even the theatrical business is also being done for big numbers. If a film clicks in other languages, then the box office performance is becoming unpredictable.

So now for most of the top and medium budget films, both the heroes and directors are taking minimum remuneration at first and for the remaining part they are taking a percentage of films’ overall business.

As said above, the OTT platforms have seen an unexpected rise over the recent years. Especially post pandemic, the change in the films’ business both theatrical and non-theatrical wise is clearly seen.

A PIL had been filed in AP High Court that it hurt the sentiments of Stuartpuram Villagers and also a community. Furthermore, the High Court asked the Mumbai CBFC Chairperson should be made an ex-party to the PIL and asked how the teaser was released without getting Censored.
