Andhra Pradesh government on Monday approved a new G.O. on permitting new shows and ticket price hikes. Makers of Radhe Shyam waited for long and even postponed their film’s release for this ticket price hike. But the hike that has been promised was not granted by the government officially through a G.O. The film’s bookings too didn’t open in the booking portals till evening for Radhe Shyam. However the government has released a G.O with Rs 25 additional hike with the already revised ticket prices after much dealy. This was not sufficient for RRR it seems. They now started discussions with AP government for much more ticket price hike.
Earlier a delegation of Tollywood consisting of Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Chiranjeevi and Rajamouli met AP CM Jagan in person and request for a price hike. But the government only allowed 25 rs additional hike with the already revised ticket hike prices. From the beginning makers of RRR were expecting special treatment for their film. The film is completely star studded with Jr.NTR, Ram Charan and Alia Bhatt. The film is also being released in all the Indian languages.
With the existing prices, the makers feel the film might not get a huge hit status like Bahubali got. They are lobbying with the government for Rs.300 for ticket prices in AP. Going by the present situation it looks very difficult for them to get such permission for this rate. It has to be seen how they request the government.
