power Star Pawan Kalyan made a comeback to films with courtroom drama Vakeel Saab and fans were happy to see their matinee idol on the silver screen again. Killing their happiness, the Andhra Pradesh government brought a new Government Order to regulate movie ticket prices.
The government said that it is not against any movie and it just wants common people also to enjoy the film and that’s why the tickets were reduced. But everyone knows that the governments brought the GO to target Pawan Kalyan.
The Andhra Pradesh government which has been singing the same tune that ticket prices have become a burden to the common people had imposed the GP during the release of Bheemla Nayak while the other films like Akhanda and Pushpa were not targeted reportedly.
As Bheemla Nayak is about to complete its theatrical run, the government brought a GO with a few relaxations. Though the relaxations were not that beneficial, compared to the previous rates, it is somewhat better.
The way the government ordered the concerned officials to make sure that GO no 35 is followed strictly at the theatres during the release of Bheemla Nayak clearly highlighted the point that Pawan Kalyan is its main target.
Giving a free nod for other films proves the point yet again. Bheemla Nayak getting affected by the GO no 35 was covered by a few national channels as well.
The likes of VROs, MROs, police, and even the Central Reserve Police Force(CRPF) personnel were deployed at the theatres. They were placed there to see that no violations of ticket prices and others will take place.
Bheemla Nayak had to face the wrath of the controversial Go no 35 as the collections have come down in Andhra Pradesh massively. Shows in many theatres were canceled with the owners feeling that they cannot run the shows with the less rates.
The other day, the government had revised the ticket rates. However, the new changes are not that encouraging as hikes in ticket rate prices come with many terms and conditions. To get the hike, the film budget should be over 100 crores excluding the remuneration and at least 10 percent of the shoot should be done in the state.
