In fact, the talk earlier is that a call on release dates will be taken by Telugu Film Industry once the Andhra Pradesh government finalizes the ticket prices thing.
But even before such an announcement came, suddenly there is a strong urge to lock the release dates and big films have queued up to lock one. Why does this happen all of a sudden anyway?
Some say that producer Dil Raju is the real mastermind behind the locking of release dates as he went vocal for a week or so about the need to lock the release dates.
With him giving clarity that he will pave the way for the release of RRR no matter what. And Raju’s urging to lock the dates has in a way worked well as the likes of RRR, Radhe Shyam and others have now locked the dates without any issues.
Some industry insiders do feel that Raju is the one who instigated everyone to lock the dates and set the Summer calendar of Tollywood quite tight, such that the theatre business will be back to its glory.
But then, what is to be seen is if the pandemic will take any drastic turn now or the ticket prices issue in Andhra Pradesh will get resolved to an agreeable stand.
