The bigwigs of Telugu film industry are in a meeting with Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC) in Hyderabad on Thursday (December 26, 2024) morning. The meeting on ‘how to have healthy atmosphere further’ was facilitated by Telangana Film Development Corporation (TGFDC) chairman V. Venkata Ramana Reddy (Dil Raju).
Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu, Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, DGP Jitender and other senior officials from the State Administration are part of the meeting. Actors Akkineni Nagarjuna, Daggubati Venkatesh, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Kiran Abbavaram, producers Allu Aravind, director K Raghavendra Rao, Trivikram, Boyapati Srinu, Vamshi and others attended the meeting.
This is held at a time when relations between the State administration and the film industry were strained in the light of stampede at Sandhya Theatre during the Pushpa 2 benefit show, police arresting Allu Arjun and other developments.
A few days ago, Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said that benefit shows will no longer be allowed in the State unless they are oriented towards social issues and are patriotic.
