Dil Raju to Meet CM Revanth Reddy Again to Discuss Ticket Price Hike for Game Changer
Telangana Film Development Corporation (TFDC) Chairman Dil Raju has made significant comments regarding the hike in ticket prices for the movie Game Changer in Telangana. He stated that he will attempt to increase the ticket prices for the movie, which is scheduled for release on January 10 as a Sankranthi gift. He plans to meet CM Revanth Reddy again to discuss this matter and hopes for a positive response.
Dil Raju emphasized that since the CM is forward-thinking about the development of the film industry, he will continue his efforts to increase ticket prices as a producer. He reminded that by raising ticket prices, the government would also benefit from an 18% tax. He urged the government to support films made on large budgets, noting that previous administrations have extended such support.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has also expressed his commitment to supporting the film industry, assuring that he would provide necessary assistance. Dil Raju, in turn, plans to meet the Chief Minister again with these hopes. He highlighted that films from the Telugu film industry are now being made on a global scale and, as a result, their budgets are higher than before.
