Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has a huge craze in Telugu states’ trade, and the theatrical rights are valued at over 100 Cr business, which is on par with straight biggies. So, keeping the business in mind, the makers requested ticket hikes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The Telangana government maintains a strict stance against ticket price hikes for dubbed films. Recently, it denied requests for hikes for Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie and NTR-Hrithik Roshan’s War 2, as both movies fall into this category.
No Ticket Hikes for Kantara Chapter 1 in Telangana

On social media, some people are already urging the AP government to disallow ticket price hikes for dubbed films.
