For some years now, statehood agitations in Telangana have disrupted film shootings and screenings, and led to protests against individual film stars or films. After the UPA government announced the bifurcation of the state in early August, anti-Telangana protests in Seemandhra—largely driven by fears of losing access to education, employment and investment opportunities offered by Hyderabad—have complicated matters even further for the industry. Big-budget productions lined up for release, including a Rs 50-odd crore project featuring film-star-turned-politician Chiranjeevi’s brother Pawan Kalyan, were delayed. Kalyan’s film was expected to face trouble in Telangana because of Chiranjeevi’s anti-bifurcation stand, but its fate is now also uncertain in Seemandhra, where agitators are reportedly unhappy with Chiranjeevi’s reluctance to resign from his position as the Minister of Tourism in the union cabinet. - See more at: caravanmagazine.in/perspectives/art-state#sthash.pGK8CBcv.dpuf
