The reason behind Koratala Siva’s exit from Social Media

0

Director Koratala Siva’s decision to move away from social media has surprised everyone. The usually easy going director while not so active on social media used the platform to share the updates on his films. Neither did he engage in any discussions nor did he ever post any controversial takes. Hence, Koratala’s decision to close his social media accounts has surprised many.

According to reports, Koratala took this decision as he felt that he was not able to concentrate on his movies. The social media was proving to be quite a distraction for him. The director of late was quite busy with sharing SoS messages during Covid helping out netizens in need.

0

It’s been just a few days since the title announcement of Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming film beast and already controversy has arisen. Vijay’s ‘Beast’ is one of the most awaited movies of Kollywood with fans eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of their star.

However, the title of the film seems to have driven the movie into slight controversy. The title ‘Beast’ has not gone well with certain sections and smaller political parties who have questioned the makers decision to go for an English title for the film.

Tamil film fraternity and people, in general, are quite known for their love for their mother tongue. In fact, there have been instances where the government has promoted and supported movies through tax exemptions that promoted language and culture.

In such an industry, Vijay, going for a non-Tamil title ‘Beast’ hasn’t gone down well with some sections. Incidentally, the actor’s last film ‘Master’ was also an English title. Earlier as well to avoid a similar situation Super Star Rajinikanth and Shankar’s movie was released as ‘Robo’ in all other languages but in Tamil, it released as ‘Enthiran’. It needs to be seen if the row grows bigger in the coming days or dies down.

Chiranjeevi looking to resolve the issue

While the theatres are opening up after the pandemic, the producers and exhibitors still have another challenge- the ticket prices. In the month of April, the Andhra Pradesh government issued orders which put a slab on the ticket rates as per the theatre’s locations. Tollywood producers have expressed serious concerns over this G.O. Now, as per reports Megastar Chiranjeevi is planning to take up the matter directly with AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy.

This year, Tollywood is going to witness a number of big-ticket films, and producers and distributors are really counting on them to pull them out of the lean patch brought in by lockdown. However, If this situation continues to prevail, a number of Tollywood biggies will have to struggle really hard to recover their investment with the government-established ticket prices.

The recent positive Twitter interaction between Chiranjeevi and Jaganmohan Reddy over vaccination drive in the state has led to strong buzz over the two meeting. According to the reports, Chiranjeevi will meet the AP CM in July 1st week or the second week over the ticket prices.

It will be interesting to see how the Chief Minister reacts considering he recently asked his ministers and aides that no discussion on this issue will be entertained.
