Well, with so much happening on the political front in our state, directly or indirectly, the people are being forced to think in many directions. The issue of a separate Telangana state and the fight to keep the state of Andhra Pradesh intact seems to be deep and intense.
Meanwhile, thoughts have begun on how it would be if the state was indeed going to be split into two. This would give rise to two new circuits – Andhrawood and Telanganawood. As per KCR, the man who is the sole cause for all this chaos, there are many talented movie makers in Telangana and so lot of movies will be made in this region.
Well, for starters, the industry folks say that he is neither a producer nor does he know an inch about movie making or the budgeting. Anyways, on face value, that shall be taken. While it is not sure if Hyderabad would be made the film capital for Telanganawood, the aspect of considering Vijayawada as the hub for Andhrawood is strong while some suggest Rajahmundry since a lot of shootings take place in those surroundings.
Now, it is also heard that the staunch Telangana seekers have roped in the struggling hero Nitin and have given him a new title ‘Telangana star’. While it is not sure if Nitin has accepted this, members of the industry say that currently he is busy focusing on making his mark at the box office than get into such sensitive and politically dirty issues.
The fact remains that more than 80% of Tollywood comprises of folks from the non- Telangana region so while it won’t take long for Andhrawood to take roots, it will take years for Telanganawood to actually form a film fraternity and at the same time, mobilize the right kind of producers to create a decent budget movie. The other important aspect to be considered here is, what is going to happen to the audience who are the main judges for any film? Given the strong admiration they have for stars, do they have to bow down to the cheap and savage dictums of few greedy politicians and build a wall amidst themselves?
Hypothetically, if all this is looking that complicated, then one can imagine what will happen when a real life situation like this may occur. Who is to be blamed at that point of time when the whole system would run the risk of collapsing and ruining many lives in the stake.
After all, Kostaa or Telangana, everyone is a Telugu speaking and Telugu loving citizen. How can the regional barriers stop their patronage for Telugu films whether they were made by Telangana producers or Coastal ones? That has to be understood by numbskull politicians.
