In Tollywood, the trend of re-releasing Telugu movies is currently on the rise. The purpose of this strategy is to reintroduce these films to the audience in a fresh way by adding some changes like 4K technology. The re-releases of films like Pokiri, Businessman, Okkadu, Simhadri, Khushi, Jalsa, Orange, Desamuduru, and Billa have entertained the fans and audiences. This week, theaters have had the shows of movies like Yogi, which stars Prabhas and Raghuvaran B Tech. However, the celebrations of Prabhas fans have gone very wrong.
Prabhas fans damaged three theaters in Hyderabad, Nandyal, and Kakinada during the Yogi re-release celebrations. This caused a significant loss for the theater owners. The theater management should reconsider holding celebrations for re-releases, especially before screening of the new releases.
During these re-releases, fans are known for their intense enthusiasm. They often bring bags of papers to toss into the air to celebrate. The sight of people climbing on chairs and dancing to songs is common. However, as said above, recently the fans of star heroes are going overboard as many theaters have been reported to have firecrackers lit by some fans, which obviously will damage the surroundings.
Prabhas fans have crossed all the limits as per the reports. After the movie abruptly stopped during the screening because of fans going overboard during the show, they decided to use a blade to damage the screen at the Sudarshan theater in Hyderabad. Some fans have engaged in destructive behaviors, such as breaking glasses, throwing bottles, and causing damage to the theater’s infrastructure.
The theater management is said to have contacted the police and filed a complaint against some fans. The investigation is currently underway.
