Tollywood producers are now breathing a sigh of relief. They are firmly believing that the ticket prices are going to be amended shortly.
Some producers and exhibitors met the Government Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy in this matter and received this assurance.
Damodara Prasad, Bharat Choudhary, Ongole Babu and others met Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy and discussed for about 30 minutes on the existing scenario of theatre business in Andhra Pradesh.
As per them Sajjala hinted that CM Jagan Mohan Reddy is apparently willing to amend the ticket prices in B and C centers, but the liberal fixation of ticket prices may not happen in near future.
Right now the plans are being made to release Sekhar Kammula's "Love Story" on August 20th or 27th. Discussions are going on still.
If the night curfew is lifted from August 15th, then there will be clarity about the second shows.
If the rates are amended, then the basic problems can be solved. 50% occupancy is not a big problem at this juncture, as 100% occupancy even for the big films is not being anticipated by many due to the pandemic fears among the public.
