TFCC thanks Balakrishna. Balakrishna, Hindupur MLA, the other day spoke about the problems faced by the exhibitors and asked everyone to come forward and save the Tollywood film industry from becoming extinct. He said more small films should come as they are essential for the survival of the film industry and there should be content rich films.He said AP government headed by CM Chandra Babu Naidu, Dy CM Pawan Kalyan are taking steps to help the exhibitors and requested the Telangana government to do the same.Balakrishna said “It is the collective responsibility of the Telugu film industry to ensure enough films are made to sustain the exhibition sector. It is painful to see theatre owners shutting down properties due to a lack of regular releases. In earlier times, we worked much faster despite limited technology. Today we have advanced tools and techniques, but film production is slowing down.” In the midst of all this, The Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce thanked Balakrishna for the support. “We are thankful to Balakrishna garu for understanding the difficulties faced by single theatres and for stressing the need for heroes to do more films.”

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh went to the Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru on Tuesday. He offered special prayers at the hill shrine. His visit came after the Karnataka High Court told him to go to the temple within four weeks. The order was part of a case linked to the film Kantara Chapter 1. The actor is also facing issues with Don 3 and a ban call from FWICE.The case started after Ranveer’s act at the IFFI closing event in Goa last year. A complaint said he insulted the Daiva or Bhoota Kola ritual shown in Rishab Shetty’s Kantara. This ritual is very important to people in coastal Karnataka. An FIR was filed at the High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru. Advocate Prashanth Methal told the court that the act hurt the feelings of many followers. Ranveer later went to the High Court to cancel the FIR.In court, Ranveer said sorry and said he did not want to hurt anyone. He said he was only praising Rishab Shetty’s work in Kantara. Justice M Nagaprasanna closed the case after Ranveer promised to visit the temple and pray. The judge also said the police should focus on real crimes instead of other cases. The temple visit was done as part of this promise.At the same time, Ranveer is dealing with trouble in Bollywood. FWICE issued a non-cooperation notice against him on Monday. The group said he left Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 and did not attend three meetings with them. After the notice, Ranveer was seen at Mumbai airport in traditional clothes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Tamil Nadu government has given a big gift to the film industry. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has allowed all cinema halls in the state to run five shows every day for new Tamil films. This rule will apply for one full week from the release date of each new movie. Theatres can also run five shows without any extra permission on Saturdays, Sundays, festival days, and public holidays.Earlier, theatres in Tamil Nadu could only run four shows daily. If they wanted to add a fifth show, they had to get special approval from government officers. This process took time and created delays for big movie releases. Now with the new order, theatre owners do not need to apply for permission. The fifth show is allowed directly, which saves time and helps plan releases better.This decision is good news for producers, actors, and distributors. Big films often get huge crowds in the first week, especially during holidays and festival seasons. With five shows daily, more people can watch the film in theatres. This will help movies earn more money at the box office. Small films also get better chances to reach audiences when extra shows are available.The Tamil film industry has welcomed this move from CM Vijay. Many people in the industry say this will help Tamil cinema grow faster. More shows mean more tickets and better business for theatres too. This step will support weekend releases and big festival films across Tamil Nadu. It gives filmmakers more confidence to release movies with wide promotion and strong opening plans. &nbsp;
