Big Blow to Devara Makers: AP High Court Limits Ticket Price Hike
In a surprising move, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the state government to restrict the increased ticket prices for Jr. NTR's upcoming film "Devara" to just 10 days, instead of the initially approved 14 days . This decision comes after a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed, challenging the government's order allowing the price hike for an extended period.

However, the court intervened, citing concerns over the prolonged price hike.
