In the midst of all this, star producer and distributor Dil Raju speaking to scribes , spoke of permanent solution to the issue. He said “We are going to request the Chief Minister for a permanent GO on ticket hikes in Telangana,” Dil Raju added “Our appeal is for a fixed, revised ticket rate for both big and small films on a long-term basis, instead of producers having to approach officials before the release of every film and rushing through approvals.”
Telangana High Courtearlier issued clear directions stating that applications for ticket hikes and other special permissions for Telugu films must be submitted at least 90 days prior to release.Dil Raju said “It will definitely hurt big-ticket films releasing between March and May,” Dil Raju added that an industry delegation is expected to hold discussions with the Chief Minister by the end of the month. “We are hopeful of a favourable decision.”
