Varahi Chalana Chitram distributors, the Krishna distributors of Baahubali had announced that they will be screening 30 special premieres of the movie in Vijayawada and will be giving the amount collected to Andhra Pradesh government towards its Capital construction fund. Inside sources say that this is a Quid-Pro-Quo kind of deal between Baahubali makers and AP government.
Baahubali have resorted to never before
The distributors of Baahubali have resorted to never before and never seen black marketing for the movie. Several theaters have hiked the ticket prices officially itself floating all the rules. Even the hiked priced tickets are put online, making the black marketing open everywhere. Government due to this 'bribe', will not come in the way of this day light robbery. Also this move will prompt, all the district collectors to give permissions to allow ticket price hike, special shows in their areas.
The distributors and exhibitors are trying to cash the craze in the audience as much as possible. The movie is releasing in about 95% theaters present in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Even with this wide release, there is an acute shortage of tickets everywhere. Most theaters are house full in the first week of its release. Some theaters have intentionally blocked their tickets for future black marketing. If the movie becomes a hit, the black marketing menace will see new heights.
