Even though memos for two films were prepared on the same day, the memo related to Prabhas’ film was deliberately held back and released only at the last moment.
The memo for Chiranjeevi’s film, which was prepared on the 8th, was also withheld and released only today, the 10th.
Because Chiranjeevi’s film memo was not released earlier, the court stay applied only to the GO issued for Prabhas’ film, which had already been made public.
Due to Sankranthi court holidays, Chiranjeevi’s film memo effectively escaped any stay.
Although the government prepared a memo on the 8th itself allowing a ticket price hike for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad, it was not released at that time.
In contrast, permission for a ticket price hike was denied to Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, and a GO was released at midnight instead.
Industry sources say the Chiranjeevi film GO was deliberately kept confidential after learning that the High Court was likely to strike down The Raja Saab ticket price hike memo.
With the High Court on holiday from today until the 19th, and no possibility of a stay, the memo prepared on the 8th was finally released today—fueling intense discussion within film circles.
Prabhas fans are furious, questioning why such discrimination is being shown against an actor who usually stays away from industry controversies.
