BREAKING LIVE : పోసాని చెప్పిన పచ్చి నిజాలు! | Posani Krishna Murali Taken into CID Custody

The Telangana government often promotes Hyderabad as a global city, with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy even dubbing it the cinema hub of the world, citing new investments and large-scale film studios. However, a recent incident has revealed a stark contrast between these claims and reality.

The Pan-India film, The Raja Saab, shockingly failed to release in Telangana—not due to technical or logistical issues, but because of administrative delays. Producers had been waiting for a Government Order (GO) permitting an increase in ticket prices, but the order did not arrive even by 10:30 p.m. on the scheduled release day. As a result, shows were cancelled, leaving theatres, distributors, and audiences in complete uncertainty.

The seriousness of the situation is amplified by the scale of the project. The Raja Saab, reportedly made with an investment of Rs 550 crore and starring Prabhas, one of India’s most celebrated actors, deserved a smooth release. Yet, the last-minute indecision raises serious questions about governance and coordination in the state.

Where does the responsibility lie? The government’s role is clearly in question. If permission was not intended, it should have been denied outright rather than delayed until the last moment, keeping fans and industry stakeholders in suspense. At the same time, producers also bear some responsibility for assuming approvals without official confirmation, which further confused audiences.

Ultimately, this episode damages Hyderabad’s claims of being a global cinema hub. Big words and branding carry little weight without timely decisions, administrative clarity, and respect for both the film industry and the public.
