Sudden lifting of ‘Srimannarayana’ from Arjun Theatre in Kukatpally making space for ‘Shirdi Sai’ to release has played with emotions of Nandamuri Fans who made dharna at theatre yesterday. Producer Ramesh Puppala and director Ravi Chavali too participated in the agitation against the ill treatment by Theatre Management. ‘Actually, how can an exhibitor change a Star Hero Balakrishna movie with in a week even when collections are recording House Full? We demand any one Theatre in Kukatpally as early as possible.
This is a clear indication on how Theatre Mafia is controlling the fate of a film in Andhra Pradesh. What is Producers Council doing when distributors and producers are losing money? If they fail to provide a Theatre for us immediately, we don’t mind taking the issue to nay level with co-operation from Nandamuir Fans,’ said Ramesh Puppala.
While other reports claim that producer Dil Raju who is distributing ‘Shirdi Sai’ in Nizam is the man behind all this drama and an insult for ‘Srimannarayana’ because he is leasing Arjun Theatre.
