National Award–winning producer Raj Kandukuri has praised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for his landmark decision to allocate 20% of the additional revenue from the recent ticket price hike for Akhanda 2 towards the welfare of cine workers. Kandukuri said the move gives dignity and respect to every worker in the Telugu film industry, many of whom are struggling to find employment, and called it a truly welcome measure.
The Telangana government had earlier approved a temporary increase in cinema ticket prices for Akhanda 2, originally scheduled to release on December 5, following a request from the producers and in line with existing ticket rate guidelines. Kandukuri described the initiative as a first-of-its-kind step that will benefit nearly 14,000 workers across 24 crafts in Telugu cinema.
Under the approved structure, single screens will see a ₹50 increase per ticket, multiplexes ₹100, and a special 8:00 PM show on December 4 has been permitted with tickets priced at ₹600 inclusive of GST. The government has mandated that 20% of the additional revenue collected through this hike be deposited into the Movie Artists’ Welfare Association account, managed by the Telangana Film Development Corporation in consultation with the Labour Commissioner. Kandukuri highlighted the significance of the decision, noting that even Tamil Nadu and Kerala have not issued similar government orders.
