ACE producer Allu Aravind held a press conference to address recent developments in the Telugu film industry. He clarified that he is not part of the group of four individuals who allegedly dominate the industry. Aravind explained that the term "Aa Naluguru" was coined nearly fifteen years ago and has since expanded to refer to ten individuals with theatre holdings. He emphasized that he stepped away from business activities involving those four during the COVID period and does not own a single theatre in Telangana apart from a stake in AAA Cinema.

Aravind stated that he has only fifteen theatres under his management in Andhra Pradesh, and those leases will not be renewed after expiry. He requested the media not to associate him with the group of four, emphasizing that he is not involved in business with them. Aravind also addressed the issue of theatre closures starting from June 1, criticizing the unilateral decisions made by some and emphasizing the importance of resolving challenges through dialogue with senior members of the industry.

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. With his statements, Allu Aravind has made it clear that he wishes to distance himself from the controversy and work towards resolving the industry's issues through constructive means.

\r\nAkshay Kumar Kesari 2 distorted facts conveniently. Bollywood Star Akshay Kumar known as Khiladi is known to churn out patriotic entertainers and cash in to the sentiments of the people to score hits. He recently came up with the film Kesari 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh&nbsp; which got mixed reviews at the box office.\r\nThe makers claimed that the film is inspired by the real life incidents in the aftermath of the dastardly Jallianwalla Bagh incident and is based on the book&nbsp; \'The Case That Shook The Empire\' by Pushpa Palat and Raghu Palat. To the top of it, they also added a disclaimer that the film is based on fiction.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nCinematic liberty is common in filmmaking but in the name of it, one shouldn\'t indulge in distortion of facts. They changed the freedom fighter Khudi Ram Bose and this would have hurt the Bengalis. After the Jallianwalla Bagh incident, owing to the huge anger, The British formed Hunter Commission to inquiry about the atrocities of General Dyer.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nHowever, despite the Hunter Commission finding fault with General Dyer, The British Government did not take any action. Sankar Nair , a Malayalee lawyer resigned opposing the British and then went on to wrote a book in which he accused Michael O&rsquo;Dwyer, then governor of Punjab, for the violence at Jallianwala Bagh. O&rsquo;Dwyer filed a defamation suit, which was contested in England (Nair didn\'t defend himself, engaging a lawyer instead).\r\nBut the makers changed O\'Dwyer name to General Dyer in the film Kesari 2 and showed Dyer (not O&rsquo;Dwyer) are taken to court&mdash;in India&mdash;by Nair and fledgling lawyer Dilreet (Ananya Panday). The trial takes place in the immediate aftermath of the massacre. The presiding judge is one McCardie (Steven Hartley). Appearing for the Crown is Neville McKinley (R. Madhavan), a wily lawyer who resents Nair. Witnesses are called, including a belligerent Dyer.\r\nApart from it, showing Nair uttering F words in the court shocks all. Even MP Shashi Tharoor took exception of it. He said \"He (C Sankaran Nair) was a man of courage, principle, and integrity. He would never use the words Akshay Kumar uses, particularly a certain four-letter word, would never have come out of him, I can tell you that for sure. But the spirit, the message, the clever way in which the message was allowed to come across was extremely well done.\"\r\nMany felt all these distortions of facts and convenient cinematic liberties put off the viewers from Kesari 2.\r\n
