The Telangana High Court has expressed strong displeasure towards the producers of Akhanda 2 and online ticketing platform BookMyShow for defying court orders and selling tickets at hiked rates. Justice NV Shravan Kumar questioned the disregard for judicial instructions, asking, \"Do court orders mean nothing? Why are tickets still being sold online?\"&nbsp;\r\nThe court specifically grilled BookMyShow, which claimed tickets were sold before the suspension order was received, demanding to know if sales continued at increased rates. In response, the High Court issued Contempt of Court notices to CV Anand IPS, Telangana\'s Home Department Secretary, and Ashish Hemrajani, CEO of BookMyShow, for allowing premiere shows to proceed despite the suspension of the government\'s ticket price hike order.&nbsp;\r\nThe next hearing is scheduled for two weeks later, with the court seeking a detailed report on ticket sales. Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu\'s Akhanda 2: Thaandavam released today, December 12, amidst this controversy. On Thursday, the High Court suspended the Telangana government\'s memo allowing ticket price increases, yet lawyer Vijay Gopal filed a contempt petition alleging violations.&nbsp;\r\nThe court criticized producers and BookMyShow, emphasizing that ignoring orders to collect extra money from the public is illegal. Legal experts suggest the outcome could set a precedent for regulating ticket prices in future big releases.&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>

\r\nRam keen to change his genre.&nbsp; Energetic Hero Ram recently came up with&nbsp; a film titled interestingly as Andhra King Taluka. The film starred Bhagyashree Borse and Upendra in important roles under the direction of P.Mahesh Babu of Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty fame.\r\nThe film got good positive talk but it failed to capitalise on it and turn out to be a hit at the box office. The film had good casting, good music and the backing of Mythri Movie Makers but viewers didnot get connected to the story completely.\r\nThis is forcing Ram to think twice and plan his career meticulously. Though star heroes can bounce back even after getting flops, this is not the case with Ram. Ram tried his look doing mass genres leaving aside his successful family and romantic entertainers.\r\nSources reveal Ram is now planning to change his route and is keen to explore horror genre and ideas from new directors. Buzz is he is considering the story narrated by Kollywood actor director Samuthirakhani. He may soon announce his next project.\r\n
