The Active Telugu Film Producers Guild recently voted to postpone the filming till August 1. The decision was made as a result of the rising costs and shifting revenue conditions. The stoppage will remain until all concerns have potential answers proposed by the producers guild.
This choice will cause the shooting of several movies to stop. One of the heroes who would be adversely impacted by this choice is megastar Chiranjeevi. Three of his movies are now in production, and production on all three movies will stop on August 1.
The films Godfather, Mega 154 (working title), and Bholaa Shankar are now in production with Chiru. In the first week of August, the Godfather film crew intended to film a song with Chiru and Salman Khan. That could now be pushed.
Actor Ravi Teja just joined the Mega 154 set, and the filmmakers are busy filming significant scenes with him and Chiru. Dates for Ravi Teja are already set, and the postponement of filming will now cause a delay in this movie as well.
On the other hand, Bholaa Shankar's shooting has been finished to roughly 50% by director Meher Ramesh. A key schedule is planned to be shot in August. These Chiru films will be impacted by the shooting suspension, notably Godfather and Mega 154 as those films' release dates have already been set.
Further delays could make it harder for such movies to open on time. Therefore, the producers guild should resolve the difficulties quickly and continue filming, according to industry sources.
