A month ago, the Telangana High Court told the state government that any notifications hiking the prices of movie tickets must be issued 90 days before the release of the film. But still, the upcoming summer biggies of Telugu films have not requested or announced any updates regarding the hikes.
Films like Peddi, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, and Toxic are slated for release this summer, and they certainly want to release with a hike in ticket prices along with extra show permissions. Now, the biggest question is how they will obtain their requests.
As said above, the Telangana High Court has already mandated that any order from the government regarding hiking the prices of movie tickets must be announced at least 90 days before release. However, even though big films are slated for release this summer, they are not showing much concern about this.
This raises an important question: how will producers or Nizam distributors now obtain permissions for ticket hikes or additional special shows if the 90-day advance rule is strictly enforced?
