Meanwhile, the Telugu Film Producer’s Council recently released a statement objecting to Varisu’s release in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during Sankranthi 2023. It mentioned that producer Dil Raju himself agreed in 2019 that original Telugu films should be given a free window and not dubbed films during Sankranthi and Dussehra.
Through this statement, the council requested exhibitors in Telugu states to give preference to original Telugu films during the aforementioned festivals. As per the statement, it’s clear that the council wants theatre owners to keep Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy as their first priority.
