Bandla Ganesh Sparks Debate, Calls Out Tollywood Stars Over CM Revanth Reddy’s Birthday Snub and Ticket Price Hikes

Prominent actor and producer Bandla Ganesh, known for his frequent headline-making comments, has again sparked attention. Via news channels and social media, he often vocally supports various political parties and figures, becoming a hot topic. Recently, he posted a sensational message on social media. On Friday (November 9), against the backdrop of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s birthday, he targeted Tollywood celebrities, criticizing them for only wanting a CM who will increase cinema ticket prices. This has now become a hotly debated issue in the industry.

Bandla Ganesh Fires at Tollywood!

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy celebrated his grand birthday on November 8. Many, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AP CM Chandrababu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, several union and state ministers, and Congress leaders, extended their greetings on social media. However, except for a few, there wasn’t much response from the Telugu industry. In this context, Bandla Ganesh, who took to X to extend birthday wishes to Revanth Reddy, made sharp comments about the film industry. He thanked all the celebrities who wished the honorable Chief Minister and sarcastically greeted those who didn’t find the time to do so. He remarked that they only need a CM for hiking ticket prices, which quickly went viral.

Jabs at Tarak and Prabhas?

There seems to be a growing gap between the Telangana Congress government and the Telugu film industry. Bandla Ganesh’s mention of ticket price hikes has sparked discussions, specifically targeting star heroes Prabhas and Jr. NTR. Recently, the films ‘Kalki 2898 AD‘ starring Prabhas and ‘Devara‘ featuring Tarak reportedly requested the Telangana government to allow ticket price increases, to which the Congress government responded favorably. However, neither Tarak nor Prabhas posted birthday wishes for Revanth Reddy on Friday, leading to speculation that Ganesh’s comments were directed at them.

These Stars Wished!

On the occasion of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s birthday, leading actor Chiranjeevi conveyed his wishes, hoping for a wonderful year and good health in public service, posted on X. Deputy CM of AP, Pawan Kalyan also wished Reddy, praying for his health and the strength to lead the state towards greater prosperity. Mega Powerstar Ramcharan and superstar Mahesh Babu also extended their greetings, appreciating Reddy’s leadership.

Controversy Over Nandi Awards!

Earlier this year, at the Gaddar Jayanti celebrations attended by CM Revanth Reddy, it was announced that the Nandi Awards would be replaced with Gaddar Awards. Six months after this announcement, there has been no progress from the industry. In a public address, CM Revanth Reddy openly expressed his impatience with the silence from the film bigwigs. Meanwhile, comments by Congress minister Konda Surekha about demolishing actor Nagarjuna’s N Convention, and her remarks about his family, have stirred the industry. Following these series of events, there are allegations that the industry bigwigs are maintaining a cautious distance from the Congress government.
