Telugu film industry seeks transport dept’s help to curb piracy
Having identified Chennai as the primary source of piracy of Telugu films, the Telugu film industry has written to the Andhra Pradesh Transport Department and the State-owned public transport utility to keep tabs on smuggling of the DVDs from Chennai and Bangalore.
The letters also sought their cooperation in keeping a whistle on screening of these pirated DVDs and CDs by some transport operators.
“We have identified as many as one thousand small shops in Chennai where the copies of the recently released movies are being made in thousands. The consignments, then, enter into Andhra Pradesh by transport operators, particularly from Chennai and Bangalore,” Mr P. Keshava Reddy, former SP and Chief Co-Ordinator of Anti Video Piracy Cell of AP Film Chamber of Commerce, told Business Line.
Showing the copies of pirated prints of Pawan Kalyan-starrer Jalsa and Krishna (of Raviteja), he said the DVDs, each comprising at least three latest releases, were being sold at a price as low as Rs 10-15, offering a very attractive proposition to the film goers. Interestingly, they carried a Britain address -- which the police claim is a pseudo one.
He, however, admitted that the time-to-copy a new release had definitely increased from 2-3 days a few months ago to at least two weeks now.

Telugu film industry’s plea to Govt on ticket charges
Telugu film industry’s plea to Govt on ticket charges
-
Realising the damage done by the Government Order (GO) that allowed them to charge more for tickets in the first two weeks of a film’s release, the Telugu film industry has asked the Andhra Pradesh Government to withdraw the order immediately and provide succor.
Acting on a request by some producers, the Government had brought out a GO a few years ago, giving flexibility for the producers to increase the prices initially. The idea was to make hay while the sun shines – getting the maximum revenues before the euphoria on a star’s film fades.
But small producers have a different view. “A family can afford a certain budget on entertainment. If the big budget movies take it all, there will be nothing left with them to watch other films,” a group of film-makers said.
