Real reason: Pushpa collections crash

Stylish Star Allu Arjun's high octane action entertainer Pushpa directed by Sukumar ever since its release last week has been going great guns at the box office. The film is getting good collections even on the weekdays after going on a rampage on the weekends despite getting a mixed talk on the day of its release.

Allu Arjun's power-packed performance and Rayalaseema accent, expressions, and emotions are casting a magic spell on movie lovers. In the midst of all this, even as the film is running on fewer collections during the weekdays, Pushpa collections witnessed a huge drop as the theatre owners in AP decided to close many of them expressing their inability to run due to huge losses.

In a few districts of AP, more than 50 theatres are closed and this is affecting the film's collections. With ongoing controversy regarding ticket prices in theatres in Andhra Pradesh not ending, the impact is felt on one and all associated with the film industry.
