0

As per a new GO issued on 8th April, theatres across Andhra Pradesh have been given directives regarding the prices of the tickets. As per the directives, theatres situated in Municipal Corporation, Municipality, Nagar Panchayat, and Gram Panchayat each have been given a slab for ticket prices as per the theatre class.

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 last year.

However, amidst the Covid wave and the G.O, a number of films have postponed their releases, this has caused further concerns for distributors. Apart from Vakeel Saab, no other movie is in sights for a release. The Pawan Kalyan starrer too has slowed down and runnig in limited screens. This is giving the exhibitors sleepless nights. The exhibitors, who do not have any new movies to screen might have to shut down the theatres yet again.
