During the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in 2014, Tollywood contemplated of shifting to Andhra pradesh as the supporters of Telangana, TRS, OU JAC and others spewed venom on Andhra people and actors.
However KCR who was at the forefront of foulmouthing Tollywood stars and their Andhra origins, thought politically and realised that Tollywood is a Golden Goose and he cleverly used the Golgen eggs it laid by giving Tollywood all the facilities. Tollywood also embraced KCR with both hands and for ten years, it enjoyed all the goodwill.
When Jagan became CM of Andhra Pradesh, he tried to make Tollywood dance to his tunes and bring it to the state. However he couldn't bring Tollywood to AP. When everyone thought that things are going good in Telangana for Tollywood, the episode of HYDRAA demolishing Nagarjuna's N Convention and Allu Arjun's arrest changed the equations drastically.
It became an intense battle ground. None other than CM Revanth Reddy breathed fire in the assembly and made shocking allegations on Tollywood. Taking cue from him, Ministers, MLAs and gully to Delhi leaders started going hammer and tongs and so did the cops.
Under these circumstances, Tollywood is becoming helpless and looking for divine intervention. They are now forced to look towards AP. But AP CM Chandra Babu and Dy CM Pawan Kalyan cannot lend a helping hand though they are inviting Tollywood to AP. If they get involved it will increase wedge between AP and Telangana.
Tollywood cannot shift to AP at once but if Tollywood think of shifting to AP in future, it is not impossible in the next four years. Currently AP has three ministers from Cinefield and they are Balakrishna, Pawan Kalyan and Naga Babu. Almost all tollywood stars have good relationship with CM Chandra Babu Naidu.
Chandra Babu and Pawan Kalyan are favourable to Tollywood and with Amaravathi capital works going on in full swing, it is the right time for Tollywood to make their plans. Compared to Telangana people. AP people are mad of films and are crazy and there are many locations in AP where Tollywood can set up studios and it has exotic locations for shooting.
