Earlier this year, the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana approved a formal request from the makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule to increase the ticket prices for the film in the states. Subsequently, actor Allu Arjun took to social media to thank the Andhra Pradesh government for the decision to approve the request, which he calls "progressive".
"I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Government of Andhra Pradesh for approving the ticket hike," wrote the Pushpa 2: The Rule star on X. Besides thanking Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CMO Pawan Kalyan, he said that the decision demonstrates the government's "steadfast commitment to the growth and prosperity of the Telugu film industry."
