Is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 cleared for release in Telangana amid ticket hike controversy? Here's what we know
The Telangana High Court has shared its verdict on the hiked ticket price controversy surrounding Pushpa 2. Read on to know more.
Pushpa 2: The Rule is all set to hit the big screens in the next two days, on December 5. Amid the excitement surrounding the film, the Allu Arjun starrer landed in legal trouble over hiked ticket prices in Telangana. According to a 123Telugu report, a petition was filed in the state's High Court challenging the government's decision to allow increased ticket prices for the movie.
As per the report, the petitioner argued that the prices were very excessive and unfair. With the release of Pushpa 2 just days away, the legal issue caught significant attention. However, the hearing took place today in the High Court. The court stated that stopping the release at the last moment would not be appropriate.
The High Court has scheduled the next hearing for two weeks from now. Therefore, there are no legal barriers to the film's release in Telangana anymore.
