As a lot of high anticipated south movies are set to release in the upcoming weeks and the middle of this Andhra Pradesh Court has passed a petition filed by theatre owners that questioned the order that was issued in April this year, reducing prices.

Last month, a bill was also passed in the State Assembly for an online movie ticketing process that it will be administered by the state government. The Telugu film industry had however expressed qualms not to avail about the same so far. The state government had also defended its move stating that the cinema theatres were charging excessive prices for high-budget releases.

Minister for Cinematography, Perni Venkataramaiah had also spoken about this that the Bill will check exploitation. The state government has now been asked to file a counter-affidavit and an interim has been granted by stopping the operation of the order. On the other hand, now it is quite clear for Telugu films to release in Andhra Pradesh without hurdle, it remains to be seen if other big releases will also hit screens soon.

Well, these legal terms are going to bring up trouble to the upcoming movies As big Telugu films are coming soon onboard like SS Rajamouli’s RRR starring Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgn, Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise and many others. This will definitely affect the business of the upcoming films but the south audience seems to be ready for it as they have already pre-booked their tickets as soon as the window opened. 80% of the first day premiere shows of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa have been pre-booked just in a few hours.
