Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62442, member: 636"] Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan endorsed higher ticket prices for the Kannada film Kantara Chapter 1 despite his Telugu movie They call him OG facing screening restrictions in Karnataka. The actor-politician rejected calls to limit Kannada films in Telugu states as retaliation for the obstacles his production encountered. Kalyan argued that cinema transcends regional boundaries, and viewers possess the freedom to select entertainment without interference from personal agendas. He criticized efforts to confine artistic expression within geographic limits while Indian films gain international recognition. The deputy chief minister emphasized that quality productions deserve support regardless of their linguistic origins, and cultural arts should connect communities rather than create divisions between them.
