Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Hari Hara Veera Mallu is all set to hit the screens on July 24. There will also be paid premieres across the Telugu states tomorrow night (July 23). The governments of both states approved a ticket price hike for this period action drama. The ticket prices in both states for paid premieres are capped at Rs. 600 + GST. The effective price will be around Rs. 708.
In Andhra Pradesh, the government approved a hike of Rs. 100 for the lower class, Rs. 150 for the upper class in single screens, and Rs. 200 for multiplexes for the first ten days. Effectively, the prices will be Rs. 297 for single screens and Rs. 377 in multiplexes. In Telangana, the government approved an increase of Rs. 200 (excluding GST) in multiplexes and Rs. 150 (excluding GST) in single screens.
