Amid reports of Telugu film exhibitors planning to shut down theatres starting June 1st, just days before the release of the highly anticipated film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Andhra Pradesh Cinematography and Tourism Minister Kandula Durgesh has called for a thorough investigation into the matter.
The exhibitors had earlier expressed dissatisfaction with the current rental system and demanded a shift to a percentage-based revenue model, similar to the system used by multiplexes. However, following discussions involving various stakeholders, the plan to halt theatre operations was reportedly withdrawn. Despite this, the renewed talks of a shutdown have raised serious concerns within the government.
Minister Durgesh has directed Home Department Chief Secretary Kumar Vishwajit to conduct a detailed inquiry to identify those responsible for instigating this last-minute decision. According to a statement from the Janasena Party’s official handle, four individuals are suspected to be behind the proposed shutdown.
Expressing the need for immediate and transparent action, Minister Durgesh emphasized investigating whether a cartel comprising exhibitors and distributors is manipulating industry decisions, potentially disrupting film releases and impacting state revenue.
The government aims to assess how many upcoming releases could be affected and to evaluate the potential loss in tax collections resulting from such a shutdown. Hari Hara Veera Mallu, slated for release next month, is expected to draw significant audience attention, and the authorities appear determined to ensure a smooth and successful launch.
This move also reflects sensitivity towards past challenges faced by prominent actors like Pawan Kalyan during previous administrations, with fans hopeful that no similar obstacles will affect future releases.
