Re-releases have come as a boon for fans of Tollywood heroes. They can now watch the vintage classics and old blockbusters of their favourites in a theatre along with other fans. Something similar was planned for Prabhas fans on the occasion of his birthday but things went out of control pretty soon.
During the screening of Billa in Venkataramana theatre in Tadepalligudem AP, Prabhas fans set fire inside the theatre causing massive loss to the theatre management. The video has now gone viral on social media and netizens including Prabhas fans are calling out this unruly behavior of their co-fans.
Already movies like Pokiri, Jalsa, and Chennakesava Reddy have created magic in their second innings. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Gharana Mogudu was also released similarly recently but failed to set the box office on fire.
Over the past few months, this vandalism has emerged as a major problem for theatre management and they are facing massive losses. These losses ran into lakhs for many theatres. In many places, chairs and screens were also damaged much to theatre management’s disarray.
In many theatres, the entry gates and glasses were broken for Pokiri and the same has been repeated with Jalsa special shows now. Theatre owners are not happy to screen special shows now. Because of this continuous damage, they are planning to take a strong decision.
And now, the same has been repeated for Billa’s re-release. If this trend continues for long, theatre management might have to take strong action and stop re-releases altogether.
