Anurag Kashyap has compared and lauded Tollywood’s approach to ticket prices with that of Bollywood. Continue reading!
Anurag Kashyap is renowned for his ability to express his opinions and be brutally honest
He does not, however, always garner acclaim. In reality, the director has taken criticism for voicing his views on multiple occasions. Anurag recently discussed the skyrocketing ticket prices for Bollywood movies and even praised Tollywood for its price controls. And it appears that everyone will concur with him this time.
The controversy over Bollywood and South Indian content has persisted ever since the COVID-19 outbreak ended. Now that the government controls the ticket prices for Telugu films, the renowned director has addressed the topic of the differences in movie ticket prices between Bollywood and South, notably Tollywood.
In an interview with Humans of Cinema, Anurag Kashyap stated, “Telugu ticket prices have a ceiling.” A luxury seat cannot cost more than ₹250, no matter how big your film is. It makes no difference if you’ve made an independent film or an RRR; you can’t charge more for your tickets than that. We now make the necessary corrections to our unnecessary spending.
Anurag Kashyap continued, saying that having more money makes it easier to spend more on marketing, which puts pressure on smaller films. That’s the reason they can’t compete in this ecosystem.
Regarding work, Kennedy, starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, was directed by Anurag last time around. The film’s direction and performances won awards when it made its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. It was not, however, released in theaters. Fans of Anurag Thakur were thrilled to hear a few days ago that Sunny Leone would be releasing the movie on OTT.
Anurag Kashyap made a brief appearance as Daniel in Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo, which is another acting credit.
