Megastar Chiranjeevi said that the pandemic put an enormous burden on producers due to a rise in the cost of production. All big movies faced budget problems.
“Ever heard of producers paying Rs 50 crore as interest taken on finances for a movie? We paid such a hefty amount. The delay in production has caused a lot of stress on producers,” Chiranjeevi said.
He hinted that the hike in ticket prices is a temporary phase as producers are seeking help from the audience in this turbulent period.
The governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have granted permission to “Acharya” to sell the tickets at a higher price than the normal rates.
“Acharya” featuring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan is hitting the theaters on April 29.
