Festival Over, But Crying Continues Among Fans

The Sankranthi festival season is gone, and the festival releases have done better than the reports they got. After a gigantic weekend, Megastar’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy are inching toward being a hit. But still, the crying among the fans of both clans hasn’t stopped.

Before the release of the movies, Mega fans were blaming the US distributors, Sholka entertainments, for favoring Veera Simha reddy as the initial pre-sales were better for the film. But after the release, when Waltair Veerayya marched ahead of Veera Simha Reddy, Balayya fans cried foul on the US distributors for giving all the XD screens to Chiranjeevi’s film, which resulted in better collections.

Now the festival is over, but still, the ranting among the fans continues. Now their target is the production house Mythri Movie Makers. Balayya fans are blaming the producers for pulling out Veera Simha Reddy and giving them to Waltair Veerayya. Despite Balakrishna’s film collecting decent shares, they allege that the producers are biased toward Chiranjeevi’s film.

It looks like these fan wars will go on till both movies are out of theaters.
