Film stars and producers in the Film Industry who are staying in Hyderabad are of the opinion that the KCR Government was far better than that of the Jagan Government in AP.
Talasani Srinivas Yadav has been looking into the affairs of the Tollywood and the Government here has given reasonably a free hand to the producers and distributors.
KTR the IT minister is also close to the cinema people.
Now that Telangana slang is being extensively used in films, the Government has come closer to the people in the industry. There is a talk that they have more or less decided to vote for Gopinath Reddy the BRS MLA from Jubilee Hills.
Now that Vishnu is also working for BRS, it is easy for Gopinath. At the same time, Azharuddin the Congress candidate has the disadvantage called MIM conteting here for the first time.
The Muslim votes get divided between the Congress and MIM, making way for the BRS. The film industry in general is with the BRS here and may support the TDP-Jana Sena combine in Andhra Pradesh.
That is the reason the film industry has not taken the call of Jagan to come to Visakhapatnam. Only Chiranjeevi wanted a house in Vizag and he has purchased the land. But the idea of setting up a studio in AP was shelved.
