How Tollywoog gets impacted by US President Trump Tariff

How Tollywoog gets impacted by US President Trump Tariff. US President Donald Trump after coming to power for the second time has been on a mission to Make America Great Again. He has taken many decions to shock other nations and now his decision to impose 100% tariff on films shocked all.

Noted producer Lagadapati Sridhar said " 100% tariff will “rob Telugu NRIs of their small pleasure” as cinema remains one of their strongest connections to their homeland. “Telugu films have been steadily expanding their fan base across North America. Big releases have contributed nearly 10–15% of their budgets from U.S. collections, but this move could cause a near collapse of that model.”

He continued “NRIs are conscious spenders. They won’t waste a single dollar unnecessarily. If a $20 ticket suddenly costs $40 with Trump’s tariff, audiences will be forced to cut down on their theater visits—especially when many already travel three to four hours to reach a screening.”

He added "Moviegoers in the U.S. already spend $12–18 for Hollywood films, while Telugu distributors typically charge $25–40 per ticket to cash in on the craze for stars like Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna."

He warned “The U.S. remains the single biggest overseas market for Telugu cinema—much higher than Europe or Australia. Trump’s decision will shatter business prospects and push producers to the brink,” and pointed out “With every recovery option narrowing, this new levy could make matters worse.”

Finally he concluded “Scripts demand locations—not the other way around. At best, a handful of projects can be shot there. We sincerely hope the Trump administration rethinks this policy and provides relief for Telugu films, which are slowly earning the admiration of U.S. audiences. Counting revenues in U.S. dollars is vital for our industry, especially when one dollar equals eighty rupees.”
