Hate campaign targets THIS Telugu film despite apology
A recent film in Andhra Pradesh has become the target of a strong hate campaign by a leading political party. The controversy began when an artist’s speech at an event went viral, upsetting the party. Despite the lead actor and the film’s team apologizing, the political group continued its negative campaign.
Even after the film’s release, the hate campaign intensified. Many negative posts surfaced online, and hashtags labeling the film a “disaster” gained traction. This situation has created a serious challenge for the film’s success at the box office.
Filmmaking involves the hard work of hundreds of technicians, and producers invest large sums of money. Such politically motivated attacks not only affect a single film but also harm the entire industry. Tollywood, already struggling with piracy now faces an additional challenge in the form of political interference.
The connection between politics and cinema is nothing new, but when political agendas target films, it can have damaging consequences. The industry must take a stand against such actions to protect creative freedom.
With the rise of digital piracy, filmmakers are already facing huge losses. Adding political hate campaigns to this struggle will only make things worse. The film industry needs immediate measures to prevent such issues from recurring. If such trends continue, they could cause long-term damage to Tollywood and discourage creative efforts.
