As the Allu Arjun case is snowballing into a major issue of confrontation between the Telugu film industry and the Telangana government, sources said some seniors in the film industry are planning to meet chief minister A Revanth Reddy to sort out the issue.
Following reports that the police are preparing to file a petition in the state high court seeking the cancellation of Allu Arjun's bail in the Sandhya Theatre stampede episode, the Allu family is said to have gone on high alert.
Sources said some film industry leaders are reportedly trying to bring Megastar Chiranjeevi into discussions with the government.
Despite visiting Allu Arjun's house during his arrest, Chiranjeevi has so far refrained from openly commenting on the issue.
The Allu family has held discussions with Chiranjeevi and sought his help resolve the issue and see that the issue is sorted out amicably by holding discussions with the chief minister.
At the same time, another team of industry people are also planning to approach Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan to use his good offices.
More than Allu Arjun case, what has bothered the Telugu film industry is the Telangana government's announcement that there will be no benefit shows or ticket price hikes has shocked the film industry.
With major hero films lined up for release during Sankranti, the government’s stance has become a critical issue, as Telangana, including Hyderabad, is a key market for Telugu cinema.
It is believed that the Telangana government’s decision might also impact Andhra Pradesh, too, as it will also be under pressure to stop benefit shows and hike in ticket prices.
Additionally, there are plans to discuss the matter with Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju.
The industry's next steps and Revanth Reddy's response remain subjects of intense interest.
