The timely decision of the ace producer, TG Viswa Prasad to alter the date of release from January 13 to Feb 9th, in view of impasse created on account of number of releases on the eve of this year’s Sankranthi, has been lauded by the biggies of the Telugu Film Industry. The wide round of discussions pertaining to the five releases those of Saindhav, Gunturu Karam, Naa Sami Ranga, Eagle and Hanuman have been on for a long time. But the persistence of all production houses left the industry in utter chaos and clueless as to which film or who would possibly agree to alter their date to a later one.
The main issue was laid with the fact that all the films are of big heroes and were found in a desperate need of release by Sankranthi season. None of them appeared to be convincing against any odd with a profound insistence for their respective release dates. Of all the films, Hanuman was heard to face major amount of pressure since the maker Niranjan Reddy is a novice in the industry and was considered to be easily coerced. Niranjan Reddy also looked entirely reluctant to go for a change. It was heard that he went through much of inconvenience in holding his prefixed release date intact. Finally, he vindicated and could win his own ideal date of release on 12th of January with ahead of consecration of Rama Mandir on January 22nd.
From few days, Ravi Teja starrer Eagle gained lot of focus with confusion spiralled around its release. Biggies like Dil Raju was continuously engaged in convincing the makers for the alteration of the release date in view of a healthy atmosphere during the time of releases. But he was also found helpless since everybody was savouring to hit the screens on their ideal dates.
Though the news was louder enough about the change of release date of Eagle, yet People’s Media Factory emphatically announced the earlier date with a stunning poster of Eagle. Again, all sank in the whirlpool of ambiguity. But, finally yesterday evening, after a long discussion with the hero of the film, Raviteja, Viswa Prasad eased out the impasse by executing his personal decision to alter the date of release to February 9th and communicated to the Chamber. The heads of the Chamber immediately called for a media meet and announced the welcoming prospect that paved a path of cooperation and the spirit of fraternity for the healthy trends to prevail in the industry for all the time to come. Viswa Prasad was highly appreciated by all the chamber and the other producers of the rest of the four films. His timely decision was hailed with rejoicing hearts gathered there. All of the chamber have duly thanked Viswa Prasad and the hero of the film, Ravi Teja
