The Telugu film industry is facing a major crisis due to piracy with recent releases like Thandel and Ram Charan and Shankar Game Changer being largely affected. Despite the producers requests to stop piracy the issue persists causing significant damage to the industry. In a shocking incident an RTC bus was found playing a pirated version of Thandel and the team revealed the details of the bus.
The piracy issue has become a major concern for the Telugu film industry with HD prints of movies being leaked on the release day itself. This has resulted in a section of audiences opting to watch the movies on their mobiles or TVs instead of visiting theaters. Producer Bunny Vas took to Twitter to express his concern sharing details of the bus and a picture of the pirated copy playing on the bus.
Bunny Vas urged the APSRTC Chairman Konakalla Narayana Rao to issue a strict circular prohibiting the screening of pirated movie footage in all buses across the state. The producers are hoping that the authorities will take immediate action to curb piracy and protect the interests of the film industry. With the rise of piracy the Telugu film industry is facing a significant challenge and it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to this issue.
The piracy issue is not only affecting the Telugu film industry but also disrespecting the hard work of creators. The producers are appealing to the audience to support the industry by watching movies in theaters and saying no to piracy. As the issue continues to plague the industry it is essential for the authorities to take swift action to address the problem and protect the interests of the film industry.
