Active Telugu Film Producers Guild, which has the likes of Allu Aravind and Dil Raju in its ranks, has made a host of demands to the Multiplex giants operating in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. These changes have to be seen in the context of the Telugu film industry reeling under the impact of the pandemic.

As per TFPG, multiplexes should stop levying VPF charges. The producers will not have to pay them. Cine trailers should be screened for free in the Telugu States.

So far, maintenance charges have been borne by the producer. This shouldn't be the case any longer.

In a big demand, the Guild has demanded of the multiplexes to allow the revenue-sharing formula to be tweaked. It should be 60:40 in the first week in favour of producers. And 50:50 in the second week. From the third week, it should be 40:60.

Other demands:

Telugu films should get a priority in terms of slots. Combo tickets shouldn't be sold any longer. If the local government permits the screening of extra shows, multiplexes should implement them along with single-screens.
