Telangana Theatre Owner gives reality check on Theatres Bandh.&nbsp;Over the last few days, the proposed theatres bandh in two Telugu states Telangana and Andhra Pradesh by the exhibitors snowballed in a huge controversy with AP Dy CM Pawan Kalyan coming out with a strong letter expressing his anger on his film Hari Hara Veera Mallu being targeted by the influential few.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nIn the midst of all this, a theatre owner speaking to scribes gave a reality check on theatres bandh. A senior Hyderabad-based exhibitor, Sadanand Goud &ldquo;Telangana exhibitors never called for a bandh. The rumours circulating about our involvement are completely false and baseless,&rdquo; He shared &ldquo;We have over 300 single-screen theatres in Telangana, and all we sought was some support during big-ticket releases, especially since we received no benefits in April. At no point did we demand a shift to a percentage-based revenue system. Our primary concern remains the declining footfalls in theatres.&rdquo;\r\nHe clarified &ldquo;It all started with Mr. Satyanarayana in East Godavari, who proposed shutting down theatres starting June 1 due to concerns over ticket pricing and related issues. Unfortunately, Telangana exhibitors were unnecessarily dragged into this discussion,&rdquo;\r\nHe pointed out &ldquo;A few of us attended those meetings in name only. We never pushed for unreasonable demands, and a shutdown was never on our agenda. Despite dwindling attendance, we&rsquo;ve always aimed to keep theatres running, relying on major film releases to sustain our annual revenues,&rdquo;\r\nHe concluded &ldquo;Telangana has over 450 theatres, including multiplexes, catering to a cosmopolitan audience that appreciates films across all languages. While some films didn&rsquo;t perform well due to poor content, the appetite for cinema here remains strong. We want to reassure everyone that theatres in Telangana will operate as usual and continue to support the film industry wholeheartedly.&rdquo;

Allu Aravind expressed regret over the industry's failure to meet with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, as suggested by Pawan Kalyan. He emphasized that no business can function properly without government support and criticized the notion that the film industry is an independent sector not related to the government. Allu Aravind also commended the note issued by the Andhra Pradesh Minister, stating that single-screen theatres are indeed facing serious issues and should be addressed through discussions.

Allu Aravind strongly criticized the timing of the theatre shutdown declaration, particularly around the release of Pawan Kalyan's film. He emphasized the need for dialogue and finding amicable solutions to the challenges faced by the industry.
