Prabhas enthusiasts have expressed apprehension regarding the box office trajectory of the film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ amidst ongoing political controversies.
The film’s producer, Ashwini Dutt, recently extended public support to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), prompting concerns among fans about the potential ramifications if YS Jagan’s Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) were to secure electoral victory.
While Ashwini Dutt’s association with the TDP is not novel, his recent endorsement has stirred apprehensions, particularly in light of the polarized political landscape in Andhra Pradesh. Previous instances, such as the release of Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Vakeel Saab,’ which faced challenges purportedly orchestrated by the ruling faction, serve as cautionary tales for the entertainment industry.
Speculation abounds among cinephiles regarding the potential impact of a YSRCP triumph on the cinematic landscape, including the performance of ‘Kalki’ and forthcoming releases such as Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ and Nani’s ‘Saripodha Sanivaram.’
Political affiliations within the entertainment sector are not uncommon, yet their complexion in Andhra Pradesh has taken on a distinct hue in recent years, prompting deliberation and concern among stakeholders.
