Exactly three years ago when the state of Telangana was formed there was a strong talk that Tollywood would be shifting its base from Hyderabad to Vizag. In fact, many movies also had most of their events either in Vijayawada and Vizag which added more strength to the talk.
However, nothing of that sort happened but now the talk has resurfaced. Due to these continuous atrocities and grilling interrogation of the Tollywood folks owing to the drugs issue, the scenario is changing. Earlier celebs were given some exemption and things happened in low profile.
But now government is taking strict measures and with this talk has emerged that some cine biggies are thinking to relocate to Vizag. However, the rationalists are quashing it. They say “Due to ongoing situation this topic has come back again, it is not a joke to shift an industry completely so give it a rest.”
