Chiranjeevi's ploy to boost Bholaa Shankar collections. Mega Star Chiranjeevi's Bholaa Shankar is releasing on 11 August 2023. Ahead of the film release, Chiranjeevi who often remains cool and composed shocked everyone by making comments on the situation in Andhra Pradesh's political scenario.

It is known that AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy and the ruling YSRCP have been attacking people who question their governance and try to find fault with them. Irrespective of the status of the persons who are questioning them, AP Ministers, YSRCP leaders, and cadre have been foulmouthing them and tarnishing their image.

That was the reason many Tollywood celebrities have been maintaining a stoic silence. Except for Pawan Kalyan who is not bothered about his films and collections and as he has been in politics and trying to strengthen his party, Jana Sena, no one questioned AP government's witch-hunting on Tollywood filmmakers, stars, and films. Only young heroes, Nani, and others supported Pawan Kalyan and they faced the wrath of the AP government during their film release.

Pawan's films Vakeel Saab, and Bheemla Nayak were targeted by the AP government but they went silent on his recent release BRO. But they started targeting it after the film release for the scene and punches targeting Minister Ambati Rambabu. It got little mileage in Andhra Pradesh as people came to theatres to watch BRO and find out really what was inside the film regarding Ambati Rambabu.

In the midst of all this, Chiranjeevi talking about AP political situation and giving CM Jagan and the ruling party advice on special status. projects, etc, surprised all. Many feel that it was Chiranjeevi's ploy to increase the collections of Bholaa Shankar. Bholaa Shankar is having a very low buzz and to the top of it, director Meher Ramesh made insinuating comments saying the original Vedhalam starring Ajith was a cringe and he changed the major part of it.

This sent wrong signals among Tollywood movie lovers and they already came to the conclusion that Bholaa Shankar is cringer than Vedhalam and stopped booking the tickets. Under these circumstances, Chiranjeevi decided to rake a political controversy before the film's release so that YSRCP targets his film and he gets sympathy in AP and people will throng the theatres and boost the collections. People feel this is the secret behind Chiranjeevi's Bholaa Shankar's tryst with controversy. It has to be seen whether Chiranjeevi's ploy to boost Bholaa Shankar collections with a controversy will work or not.
