Attarintiki Daredi Collection To Be Affected By Telangana Issue
The
current
political
situation
in
Andhra
Pradesh
has
already
taken
a
toll
on
the
business
of
several
big-budget
Telugu
movies,
especially
on
films
featuring
Mega
family
heroes.
After
two
months
struggle,
Attarintiki
Daredi
hit
the
screens
and
got
superb
opening
at
the
AP
Box
Office.
Just
when
people
in
Tollywood
are
breathing
a
sigh
of
relief,
the
UPA
government
has
once
again
blown
out
the
Telangana
issue
by
announcing
its
approval
of
the
proposal
for
its
separation.

Power
Star
Pawan
Kalyan's
latest
outing
Attarintiki
Daredi,
which
has
been
made
with
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs
55
crores,
has
concluded
the
first
week
at
the
AP
Box
Office
and
almost
recovered
its
production
cost
in
seven
days.
Producer
BVSN
Prasad,
who
was
very
happy
with
its
performance,
was
hoping
to
garner
huge
amount
of
profit
in
the
second
week
as
there
were
no
big
releases.
But
his
dreams
are
going
to
be
shattered.
But Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has approved the proposal to create Telangana, setting up a group of ministers to lay out the roadmap for the purpose. Following his announcement, several activist groups, who were resting for while, have once again decided to get down to the road and shutdown everything including schools, offices, cinema halls and public transport in the state. If this happens, the screening of Attarintiki Daredi will be stopped in most of the centre, causing a big loss to producer BVSN Prasad. Continue to read more in the slideshow.
