Andhra Pradesh government on Monday approved a new G.O. on permitting new shows and ticket price hikes. Big budget film like Radhe Shyam and RRR waited and postponed their film’s release for the ticket price hike. It looks like the wait is worth for Radhe Shyam and RRR ! Earlier released film Bheemla Nayak went ahead with the release without any hikes in ticket prices. This proved bad for Bheemla Nayak. But Radhe Shyam and RRR makers waited for the right time and are pumped up with joy.
Radhe Shyam and RRR are made on a budget of more than 100 crores as claimed by makers. However with the existing prices in AP, it looks very difficult for these films to achieve a hit status. So they postponed their films many times until the release of new G.O. by the government. Stars like Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi and Rajamouli met AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy in person and appealed for the same. Looks like the government agreed to their pleas.
However there are some more things in G.O. The G.O. mainly concentrates on encourage small budgeted films. One of the conditions is High Budget Films (100 Cr without remuneration for both hero and director) will be allowed Special Rates only if 20% shooting is done in AP. As 20% of Radhe Shyam and RRR movies are not shot in AP , according to G.O. these two films are not eligible to get the special hikes. But AP Cinematography Minister Perni Nani made it clear that Radhe Shyam and RRR are exempted from this G.O. This made the makers have some relief. Both films can now have a special show and ticket hike prices. Radhe Shyam is slated for release on March 11 and RRR on 25 March.
