Producer Naga Vamsi, associated with Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, has publicly addressed the decision to implement ticket price hikes for his upcoming Telugu film, 'Anaganaga Oka Raju'. The film, starring Naveen Polishetty and Meenakshi Chaudhary, is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on January 14, 2026, coinciding with the Sankranthi festival. In a media interaction, Vamsi explained that the move was necessitated by the intense competition during the festive season, with several major films, including those starring big stars like Prabhas and Chiranjeevi, releasing concurrently. This influx of films has led to a shortage of available screens. The Andhra Pradesh government has reportedly granted permission for a temporary increase in ticket rates for 'Anaganaga Oka Raju'. This hike allows for an additional ₹50 in single-screen cinemas and ₹75 in multiplexes. These revised prices will be applicable for a period of ten days, starting from the film's release date. Naga Vamsi emphasized that the enhancement in ticket rates is 'very reasonable' and a strategy to manage demand and optimize revenue during a highly competitive release window. The film's team is confident in its potential, leveraging Naveen Polishetty's comedic appeal and the festive timing. This news has been corroborated by multiple sources across the Telugu film industry, indicating the accuracy of the producer's statements and the government's approval.
