Jaganmohan Reddy who is trying to lure the industries to AP, has failed in attracting the Film Industry people to the state. Chiranjeevi was planning to start a studio in Vizag and Jagan wants to lure the Tollywood industry to Andhra Pradesh.
Chiranjeevi once talked about shifting his base to Vizag and he wanted some land for that from the Government.
He has in fact purchased the land but is in two minds. Right now Chiranjeevi has shelved the plans of constructing a studio in Vizag. They are busy with the Allu Studios.
There was also a talk that the people based in Telangana might go to Vizag soon. Suresh is already having a big studio there and he wants to take care of it now.
Many film shoots have been going on in Andhra Pradesh for a long time. Jandhayala and Vishwanath liked to work in Vizag near the beaches. Many Chiranjeevi movies were shot in Vizag.
But moving the industry is not easy. It will take a long time. Coming from Madras to Hyderabad was a herculean task and now they want to move to Vizag. Jagan and his finance Minister Buggana are moving heaven and earth to get some industries into AP.
There is no doubt that AP has rubbed Tollywood in the wrong fashion. At this juncture, no one would like to move out of Telangana to AP. The shootings will go on anyhow.
