In a significant meeting with film industry leaders, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy outlined his stance on important issues affecting the industry, especially regarding the upcoming Sankranti releases. Amid discussions about benefit shows and ticket price hikes, Revanth addressed these topics early, reassuring the industry of his government’s ongoing support. He emphasized his dedication to fulfilling the promises made in the Assembly, reinforcing his commitment to follow through.
The meeting gained attention with industry stalwarts like director K. Raghavendra Rao expressing approval for the appointment of Dil Raju to manage the film industry’s affairs. Revanth assured that the government would offer full support but made it clear that strict measures would be taken on specific matters, such as ensuring proper security arrangements for actors, particularly when it comes to the use of bouncers.
The Chief Minister also urged the film industry to play a proactive role in addressing social causes, particularly in the fight against drugs. While assuring that the government wasn’t targeting individuals, Revanth emphasized the importance of honoring commitments made in the Assembly and contributing to the betterment of society.
Revanth also announced that, although the government would continue to support and provide incentives to the industry, it would not approve benefit shows or any hikes in ticket prices at this time. This stance has left industry leaders pondering the future, with expectations mounting for the final decisions on these issues.
