The ongoing rift in Telugu film industry between a faction of Producers and TV channels is being blown out of proportion. A group of Producers headed by Dil Raju decided to give film trailers advertisement only to few channels at higher rates and leaving out the rest in the name of cost saving. TV channels have united against this move and troubling the Producers by their non-cooperation.
The controversy had reached the door step of Nagarjuna too. The producers of Dochey also adopted the new TV ads strategy and Nagarjuna is being blamed for the decision. In the wake of criticism from media group, Nagarjuna issued a statement that he or Annapurna Studios are not at all related to the controversy. He clarified that he will follow any decision taken collectively by Producers Council and the Film Chamber.
Many see this move of Nagarjuna as a safe bet to protect Naga Chaitanya’s Dochey which released just today. Irking media on wrong side will only hurt the movie progress in theaters. Dochey had opened to average talk today and will need media help to help it reach family audience in summer season.It is also known to our readers that Producer Bandla Ganesh also disassociated himself from this controversy.
