Pawan Kalyan Supports Ticket Price Hike For Kantara Chapter 1

Amid calls to boycott Kantara: Chapter 1 in the Telugu states, Pawan Kalyan has supported the ticket price hike for Kantara: Chapter 1 in Andhra Pradesh. He stated that he does not endorse retaliatory measures against films from other languages, even though his own project has faced challenges in Karanataka.In a statement, Pawan Kalyan remarked, "Cinema, music, sports, and cultural arts have no boundaries of language, region, caste, or religion. Their core purpose is to entertain and connect people from all walks of life. It is unfortunate that some individuals, driven by personal agendas, have tried to block the screening of OG in theatres across Karnataka. In response, some voices have now begun to suggest that Kannada films like 'Kantara' should be restricted in our Telugu states. I do not support this thinking."

His statement further read "Art and cinema must spread joy, bridge cultures, and bring people together, not drive them apart. Every individual has the right to watch the film they love. If you don’t like a film, you can choose not to watch it - but using personal hate or agendas to target films is simply unacceptable. Today, Indian cinema is being celebrated across the globe in every language. At a time like this, any attempt to confine art within regional limits must be strongly rejected. Let us support good films, wherever they come from."
