The theatre strike issue in Tollywood took a new turn after Pawan Kalyan’s statement, putting the decision on hold. Rumors began to spread, dragging Allu Aravind into the controversy.
To clear the air, he held a press meet, said he has no links with the ‘Aa Naluguru’ group, and left the theatre business post-Covid.
He currently has less than 15 theatres under lease, including AAA Cinemas, and is not renewing them. Aravind clarified that he didn’t attend any meetings related to the strike and isn’t involved.
He supported the AP Cinematography Minister’s response and said theatres should first try resolving issues with the Film Chamber. He added that shutting theatres before Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s release is not right.
He praised Pawan Kalyan’s support for the industry and said government support is essential for business. He requested everyone to discuss problems together instead of making sudden decisions.

తెలంగాణలో నా లీజ్ లో ఒక్క థియేటర్ కూడా లేదు..
ఆంధ్రాలో కేవలం 15 థియేటర్లు మాత్రమే లీజ్ లో ఉన్నాయి..#AlluAravind pic.twitter.com/J79GvCkMVV— Filmy Focus (@FilmyFocus) May 25, 2025
