Invasion And Capture On Pawan Kalyan's Theatres
Yes, now we are seeing a sort of invasion on the theaters those are releasing 'Jalsa' coming week. And that is happening in Vijayawada. Now a silent battle is going on among the Chiranjeevi fanatics in Congress and TDP. Big leaders are coming forward to book the theatres completely for a week or two to accommodate their youth leaders and fan battalions of Chiranjeevi in their party. As per a report, Vijayawada east legislator Vangaveeti Radhakrisha reportedly blocked the tickets in Sailaja theatre completely for one week and Kankipadu legislator Devineni Nehru is also said to be negotiating with the exhibitors. Sources said Nehru's son is leading a fan club of Chiranjeevi with a support base of a few hundred youth in the city. Interestingly, the pressure on the TDP leaders is also mounting. "The youngsters are demanding that they should get some tickets at any cost. With theatres are blocked by ruling party leaders, it might be difficult for us to get some tickets. So, we too might have to block a theatre or two," says a TDP leader. The film is about to hit the screens on April 2n or 4th in 15 theaters of Vijayawada. The kapu dominant circles are taking it a prestigious film as it would be the last film from Chiru clan before he announces his party. And obviously Allu Arjun's 'Parugu' happens to be first film after party announcement if everything goes well. All are waiting for April 7th for the announcement day. The reason for the delay of the release of the film is attributed to yet to be done Digital Interface act for it. And coming to theatres aspect in Vijayawada, Allu Aravind, who himself manages Krishnamahal theatre, has leased out it to an enthusiastic industrialist Tulasi Ramachandra Prabhu. Prabhu's son is aspiring to jump into politics once Chiranjevvi launches the party. "He is said to have paid Rs 7 lakh to the producer to block tickets for all shows for one week," a Chiranjeevi fan said. Guntur II legislator T Venkata Rao booked Naaz theatre for the first week, while Guntur MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao's family took another theatre Hariharamahal into their fold with a sole aim of keep the Chiranjeevi fans happy. On the other side, Mayor Kanna Nagaraju, himself a Kapu, entered the fray in the final moments and has started negotiating with the distributors of the Swamy theatre. "It is a clever ploy by the producer to en-cash his brother-in-law's craze to make his investment safe," observed a former censor board member. Normally, the producers would not interfere once the rights of distribution had been sold out. However, in the case of 'Jalsa', Aravind is reportedly directly dealing with the leaders even after giving away the rights. So, that happens to be a big game with 'Jalsa'
