Mythri Movie Ravi Shankar Answers Kiran Abbavaram Allegations

The debate surrounding theatre allocation for Telugu films in Tamil Nadu has sparked a new controversy, with Mythri Movies' Ravi Shankar weighing in on the issue. In a recent promotional event for Pradeep Ranganathan's film "Dude", Ravi indirectly responded to Kiran Abbavaram's comments, stating that the focus should be on creating strong content rather than complaining about the number of theatres. "If another film becomes a blockbuster, we're more than willing to share our theatres too," he added.

This statement comes after Kiran Abbavaram expressed his disappointment with the limited screen availability for Telugu films in Tamil Nadu. Kiran pointed out that while Telugu audiences eagerly support films from all languages, Tamil Nadu doesn't offer the same level of support to Telugu movies. His comments went viral, sparking a heated discussion across social media platforms.

Ravi Shankar's words have divided online users, with some supporting Kiran Abbavaram's concerns and others agreeing with the producer's perspective. Some fans argue that Telugu films like "Devara", "Pushpa", "Game Changer", "Kingdom", and "OG" didn't receive sufficient encouragement from Tamil audiences. On the other hand, some believe that even big Tamil stars face struggles if their films don't generate buzz.

The controversy surrounding theatre allocation highlights the challenges faced by regional cinema. With "Dude" releasing on October 17 and "K Ramp" hitting theatres on October 18, the debate is likely to continue. As the industry navigates these complexities, it remains to be seen how filmmakers and producers will adapt to the changing landscape.
