Congress MP Revanth Reddy Gets Bail in Drone Case | Hyderabad

Recent developments from the Telugu film industry have sparked tension between exhibitors and producers following a heated exhibitors’ meeting and press interaction held yesterday, which left several Mega fans disappointed.

Producer, distributor, and exhibitor Sirish, who holds influence across multiple sectors of the industry, reportedly stated that single-screen theatres will not increase ticket prices even if the government permits a hike through an official GO. This statement comes amid the ongoing dispute over exhibitors demanding a 40% share in ticket sales revenue from producers.

Following these comments, Mega fans have expressed strong anger on social media, questioning why theatre and exhibitor-related issues tend to surface primarily ahead of big releases featuring Mega heroes, including Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Ram Charan’s Peddi.

Peddi, which is scheduled for release on June 4, has become a focal point of concern, with fans fearing that unresolved theatre disputes could impact the film’s release and opening day collections.

Some fans also allege that certain industry groups may be deliberately creating hurdles for Mega hero films, especially in situations where distribution rights are not allocated to them. However, these claims remain unverified and are part of ongoing fan discussions.

Meanwhile, producers are set to hold a crucial meeting today to formulate a response to the exhibitors’ stance. The industry is closely watching these developments as tensions continue to escalate.

With both sides maintaining firm positions, the dispute shows no signs of immediate resolution and is expected to remain a major talking point in the coming days.
