Tollywood has shelled out approximately Rs 400 crores for the production and publicity of these film. Unfortunately, their target audience are also youth aged between 18 and 35. The present IPL fever is giving sleepless nights producers of these flicks, who are scared of suffering huge losses.

A few filmmakers, who want to escape from suffering losses, are reportedly considering on postponing the release of their movies. But there are some big-ticket films that are lined up for release post this summer holidays and makers of those movies have already book a large number of cinema halls in the state, which has now created a problem of unavailability of theatres.
