Kalki Producer – Daring Step, Yet Risky?

Well, Prabhas fans have found themselves in a state of concern regarding the box office performance of the film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ amidst political controversies.

The film’s producer, Ashwini Dutt, other day extended open support to the Telugu Desam Party. This started to worry fans as to what would happen to Kalki if in case YS Jagan’s YSRC won the mandate.

The political alignment of Ashwini Dutt with the TDP is not a new thing, but he is not active in the party for some years.

Many fans are worried about the possible repercussions on ‘Kalki’s box office success, given the polarized political environment in Andhra Pradesh, where Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab release was severely crushed by the people in power earlier.

From seizing theatres to giving official GOs to selling tickets at peanut rates, Pawan’s film got harassed big time.

Movie lovers are speculating about the potential consequences of a YSRCP victory on the film industry, including the performance of movies like ‘Kalki’ and also other movies like Chiru’s Vishwambhara and Nani’s Saripodha Sanivaram.

Political affiliations in the entertainment industry are common, but they have different color altogether in Andhra Pradesh in the last 5 years.
