Tollywood was thrown off guard when the Andhra Pradesh government announced the drastic reduction of all movie ticket prices. It tried several times to get things under control, by talking to the AP government, until the day when Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy agreed to increase the prices, after Chiranjeevi, Rajamouli, Prabhas, Mahesh Babu and Koratala Siva went to meet with the CM.
The CM agreed to increase the prices, and the GO was released to that effect recently as well. The government even agreed to grant special permissions to only Radhe Shyam and RRR, given the scope of the films but failed to do so. As a result, with Radhe Shyam already having been released, and RRR just two weeks away, with several other big films in the pipeline, it is being said that Tollywood intends to meet with the AP CM once again.
While there’s no confirmation yet, it is being said that Tollywood intends to give a small tribute to Jagan as well, recognising his goodwill towards the industry. It is now to be seen if Tollywood will again meet with Jagan or not, and if they do, whether or not they will give him a tribute.
