Recently, there has been several speculative talks that Andhra Pradesh Government is trying to shift Telugu movie industry to Amaravati. But looks like they will be in talks stage only and remains a day dream for AP Govt.
Movie Artiste Association (MAA) president Shivaji Raja confirmed that Tollywood will not shift its base to Amaravati.
Shivaji Raja who is at West Godavari District for a movie shoot was asked by one of the interviewer, is the industry shifting to AP capital Amaravati for which he politely denied.
Shivaji Raja also reiterated the fact that Telangana Government is providing all benefits to Telugu Cinema and that there is no need to shift its base.
In fact many film makers across the nation are coming to Hyderabad to make movies. At this juncture, it really does not make any sense leaving Hyderabad.
To another query, Shivaji Raja has admitted that it has become a huge challenge to make movies in the current times. Making a movie is like doing 100 marriages said MAA president Shivaji Raja.
