Following are the lists of most affected and least affected heroes of tollywood due to different agitations across the state.
LIST OF MOST AFFECTED HEROES:
PAWAN KALYAN: Power Star Pawan Kalyan is the most affected hero due to different agitations across the state. 'Komaram' title was removed in 'Komaram Puli' due to agitations. 'Teenmaar' title also created a sort of controversy before its release. Unfortunately, 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' lost crores of rupees in Telangana area as the movie's screening was stopped by Telangana agitators for three days in the first week run of the movie. And now, Pawan Kalyan's 'Atharintiki Daredi' has been postponed from 7th of August indefinitely. Unless the movie gets released soon, it incurs heavy losses.
JR.NTR: Young Tiger NTR's 'Adhurs' movie's screening was stopped completely after four weeks of its release in Telangana area. Obviously, the producer had to face losses in that area. Now, the makers of 'Ramayya Vastavayya' are thinking about postponing the release of the movie and it further leads losses to the makers.
ALLU ARJUN: Though 'Arya 2' received mixed talk, the movie generated huge collections in Nizam area. Unfortunately, the screening of the movie was stopped completely by Telangana protesters after its two weeks run. Else, the movie would have been a blockbuster in that region.
RAM CHARAN: Mega Power Star Ram Charan took a daring decision of releasing his movie 'Toofan' though agitations in Seemandhra are going on in aggressive way. Morethan due to agitations, the flop talk of the movie affected its collections. Meanwhile, his 'Yevadu' movie's release has been postponed from 31st July to 10th of October.
MANCHU VISHNU: It was due to Mohan Babu's aggressive statement seeking the state united, Telangana agitators stopped the screening of Vishnu's movie 'Saleem'. However, the utter flop result of the movie made no difference for its removal in Nizam area. Vishnu's 'Denikain Ready' created controversy and a group of people agitated for the ban of the movie. However, Vishnu successfully scored a resounding success with that movie.
LIST OF LEAST AFFECTED HEROES:
Apparently, Prince Mahesh Babu has been the luckiest hero, as almost all of his movies were least affected comparing with the movies of most other star heroes of tollywood due to different agitations in the state. If we have a look at the damages got by his films due to agitations, his 'Khaleja' movie's set was burnt near Vikarabad at Ranga Reddy district by the Telangana agitators. His 'Dookudu' film was stopped on the release day in just around 5 to 10 theaters in Rangareddy district by Telangana agitators. Mahesh's new film '1-Nenokkadiney' will be releasing on 10th January,2014. There may not be any agitations by that time. Apart from Mahesh, Young Rebel Star Prabhas and Mass Maharaj Raviteja were also not affected with agitations. The movies of senior most heroes and B grade heroes were also not affected with agitations.
