We will be serious about bouncers: CM
“The government is with the industry. There is no question of compromising on law and order. It is the responsibility of celebrities to control the fans. The industry should act with social responsibility in the development of Telangana. Film celebrities should take the initiative in raising awareness about drug control and campaigning for women’s safety. Temple tourism and ecotourism should be promoted. The industry should also cooperate in terms of investments. From now on, we will be serious about bouncers,” Chief Minister Revanth concluded.
We gave police ground to ‘Pushpa’..
“Celebrities brought the problems of the film industry to our attention. They shared doubts, misconceptions and ideas. Our government always stands by the industry. Our main objective is to promote the film industry. Our government has given special GOs to 8 films. We have given police ground to the film Pushpa. We have taken this decision to create a brand for the Telugu industry. Along with IT and Pharma, this sector is also important to us. Knowing that awards are not given in Telangana, we brought the Gaddar Award. We appointed Dil Raju as the FDC chairman to be a mediator between the government and the industry.
We have formed a cabinet sub-committee to solve the problems of the film industry. The industry should also form a committee. We are taking steps to bring Hollywood and Bollywood to Hyderabad. We are trying to attract other film industries by organizing big conferences in the city. We are establishing Young India Skills University and improving employment opportunities. We are establishing Advance Technology Centers to improve skills and provide jobs. Whatever has been done to the industry, it has been done by Congress governments. We will continue that legacy. Let’s develop the Telugu industry together, not just Telugu,” the CM explained. The Chief Minister later posted on ‘X’ that he had assured film personalities that the public government would support the development of the film industry and the resolution of its problems.
