Theatre owners accuse miscreants of the damage. Of late, Tollywood is witnessing the re-release of many top stars' films. While the fans of top stars are enjoying the re-releases, living the golden and memorable moments on the big screen, theatre owners are getting scared as viewers in their excitement are damaging the screens and the seats.
Many theatres suffered damages due to the over-enthusiastic fans during the releases of Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Balakrishna, and other heroes' films. Speaking about it, theatre owners shared "It was work of a few disgruntled men but everything was under control," he says and adds, "Few people who were drunk wanted to get on to the stage close to the big screen to dance but our security and some fans halted them from doing so to avoid any damage to the big screen,"
Theare owners shared " Later, when the show of Prabhas’s action film ended, the said miscreants found some crates of empty bottles lying there and they took them and smashed them down on the floor to create ruckus. "Luckily, no one was hurt and there wasn’t much damage caused to the theatre, so it wasn’t vandalism as reported,"
They added "Re-releases of star movies have revived our hopes and encouraged us to screen more movies. We were worried about audiences skipping theatres to enjoy movies on digital space, but big stars brought back the crowds and gave our single theatres a new lease of life,"
