More than the remuneration of the heroes, the cinema ticket rates were found to be very high in the state of Telangana. This was done in the name of new movies.
Now after the meeting of the producers, the ticket rates for small-budget films in the A and B centres should start from a maximum of Rs 100 for single screens and Rs 125 for multiplexes.
For medium-budget films, the rates should start from Rs 122 for single screens and Rs 177 for multiplexes. The respective rates for big-budget films should be Rs 177 and Rs 295.
There will be no ticket which is above Rs three hundred in the state of Telangana.
These admission rates apply to Telangana because, in Andhra Pradesh, which is also a Telugu film market, the ceilings have already been decided by the Jagan government.
The producers also discussed the high fees charged by the stars, contending that nobody else but them was making money in the film industry.
Producers and distributors had gotten into the habit of inflating box-office collections of films to paint a rosy picture of the stars of those films in a bid to satisfy their egos.”
Some films which were flops were proclaimed as hits by the Industry to please the heroes. Right now Dil Raju is the man calling the shots and he has lost money in three movies in a row.
Let’s hope he will be able to recover the money lost, in the movies to be released in future.
