This Sankranti season, Tollywood is gearing up for two major releases. Ram Charan‘s Game Changer is set to hit theaters on January 10, while Balakrishna’s Daku Maharaj will follow on January 12.
In a significant development, the AP government had granted permission to increase ticket prices for both films, aiming to capitalize on the festive demand. However, this decision faced backlash, with several petitions filed in the High Court challenging the price hikes. The petitions argued that the increase violated established rules and demanded the government orders be revoked.
After reviewing the case, the AP High Court delivered a crucial verdict. Although the government initially allowed higher ticket prices for 14 days, the court has reduced this period to 10 days. As per the ruling, the increased rates will only apply for the first 10 days after the films’ release.
This verdict is expected to impact the overall collections of both Game Changer and Daku Maharaj, potentially altering their box office performance. Fans and industry insiders are now closely watching how this decision will influence the festive releases.
