To
Take
Call
On
Zanjeer
Release
M
Vijayendar
Prasad
said,
"The
region
wise
distributors
are
to
decide
whether
to
exhibit
the
film
or
not.
Following
the
state's
bifurcation,
we
fear
the
film
might
face
problems
both
in
Telangana
and
Seemandhra.
We
have
to
wait
till
evening
to
have
more
clarity
on
this
issue."

In

in
other
regions
such
as
Tirupati
and
Vijayawada,
groups
belonging
to

The

up

Telangana
Share
In
Zanjeer
Collection
The
film
trade
in
Andhra
Pradesh
is
divided
territory
wise.
While
Telangana
comprises
of
Ceded
and
Nizam
districts,
Andhra
comprises
of
coastal
Andhra
region.
However,
every
big
ticket
Telugu
film's
major
chunk
of
box-office
collection
comes
from
Telangana
region.
Zanjeer
Release
Is
Doubtful
In
Telangana
Trade
analyst
Trinath
feels,
"Telangana
may
have
only
ten
districts,
but
they
are
very
important
from
a
big-budget
film's
perspective
because
it
helps
reap
films
gold
at
the
box-office.
While
Andhra
region
is
equally
important,
but
since
Zanjeer
is
facing
hassles
from
both
parts
of
the
state,
its
release
is
doubtful."
OUJAC
Plans
To
Stall
Zanjeer
Screening
The
movie
is
being
targeted
by
the
Osmania
University
Joint
Action
Committee
(OUJAC)
after
Chiranjeevi's
plan
to
pitch
for
Hyderabad
as
a
union
territory
was
not
received
well.
"We
won't
allow
the
release
of
films
which
star
members
of
Chiranjeevi's
family
in
the
state,"
said
a
statement
from
OUJAC
a
couple
of
weeks
back.
Seemandhra
Threatens
To
Disrupt
Its
Screening
Groups
in
Seemandhra
have
threatened
to
disrupt
screening
of
the
film
due
to
Chiranjeevi's
failure
to
oppose
strongly
the
proposed
bifurcation
of
the
state.
