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
The government has been under fire recently for approving premieres and ticket price hikes for OG. As a result, the Telangana government is currently unwilling to allow ticket price hikes for movies and has reportedly turned down the Kantara Chapter 1 team’s request.
We need to see how the Andhra Pradesh government deals with the situation. Audiences are also showing frustration with both states’ governments for giving permission for ticket hikes.
On social media, some people are already urging the AP government to disallow ticket price hikes for dubbed films.
