The burning topic right now is the arrest of Ravi Emandi, associated with the iBomma piracy site.
Gen Z youth is showing massive support for him, and their comments reflect strong antipathy toward the film industry.
They are angry that producers hike up ticket prices during the release of star-studded films, thereby looting the audience’s pockets.
The first film facing this storm is Akhanda 2, releasing on December 5th. Will there be an increase in ticket prices for this film?
We can expect the producers to approach the government for a ticket price hike, but we need to see how the governments of both Telugu states respond.
Will the governments align with the mood of Gen Z and reject permissions? Or will they take the youth’s criticism lightly and allow the usual ticket price increase?
Everything now depends on what unfolds in the coming days. Akhanda 2 stars Balakrishna in the lead, with Boyapati Srinivas directing it.
