Andhra Pradesh saw two unfortunate events in the form of Kandukur and Guntur public events. The meetings claimed 11 lives due to the stampede. People gathering in big numbers in a small area is said to be the main reason behind the disaster. The events forced the government to take a tough call.
The government has decided to not allow big events without proper arrangements. It appears that the rules apply to film events as well. Film events of two big Telugu films were canceled as the government denied permission flagging the recent GO.
As Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming film Veera Simha Reddy is going to hit the theatres on the eve of Sankranthi the makers are busy with promotional activities and the pre-release event was planned at the ABN Grounds in Ongole city.
But the permission was reportedly denied citing security reasons. Two days ahead of the pre-release event the permission was denied. This made the makers look for a good venue to hold the event. After a lot of work, a venue was finalised and the same was informed to authorities.
The venue is in the same Ongole region. The BMR (Arjun Infra) Mahanadu ground on the Bypass Road in Ongole will host the event. It is said that the makers of the film informed the concerned authorities regarding the shift of the event and permission was given.
As the event was shifted. The makers are busy making arrangements for the pre-release event. Usually, the pre-release events are held in Hyderabad. The tradition has been going on for a very long time. But the industry is looking at Andhra Pradesh to conduct the events there.
The makers of Veera Simha Reddy decided to conduct the event in Andhra Pradesh as the film is said to be set out in the region. The arrangements are being made at a rapid pace for the event. Nandamuri Fans are eagerly waiting for the event.
