Pushpa 2: The Rule Ticket Price Hike - Allu Arjun Thanks AP Government for Groundbreaking Move

Allu Arjun, the popular Telugu film actor, has publicly expressed his gratitude to the Andhra Pradesh government, especially Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, for approving a significant increase in ticket prices for his upcoming film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. This decision marks the highest-ever ticket price hike for a Telugu film, setting a new benchmark for the industry.

A Historic Ticket Price Increase

In a move that has sparked a wave of excitement within the film industry, the Andhra Pradesh government allowed a rise in ticket prices for the premiere shows of Pushpa 2, which are scheduled for December 4, 2024. The new price, set at Rs 944 (including GST), applies to both single screens and multiplexes. This price hike will remain in effect for a 13-day period following the film's release on December 5, 2024.

Mixed Reactions Across States

While the ticket price hike has been largely welcomed in Andhra Pradesh, it has stirred some controversy in neighboring Telangana. The Telangana government also implemented a similar ticket price hike, which led to a petition being filed in the Telangana High Court. Critics argue that the higher prices could financially burden moviegoers, especially those who are not able to afford the increased costs.

However, in Andhra Pradesh, the announcement of the price hike has been met with excitement and anticipation, especially with the growing popularity of Pushpa 2. Fans and industry insiders are optimistic that the move will benefit the Telugu film industry in the long run.
