Indra creates havoc at Guntur

Chiranjeevi's Indra was released in five theaters in Guntur namely Naz Deluxe, Naz Apsara, Saraswati, Harihar Mahal and Little Krishna (morning show only). Mr. Seetaramanjaneyudu, the Superintendent of Police for Guntur, is taking every possible step to make sure that tickets are not sold in black. He fixed up a rate of Rs 358/- per constable per day. The theater owner has to pay the amount to police department before hiring police constables. To normalize the crowds the tickets were sold at six theaters namely Naz complex, Harihar Mahal, Saraswati, Radha Krishna and Pallavi Deluxe. The queue for the first day is extended till the railway station from Naz complex. The tickets for three days have been sold on day one.

But the SP got complaints that the police constables themselves are selling tickets in black. Hence, he cancelled the advanced booking system and decided that tickets would be given an hour before show time from 4th day onwards. The overjoyed Chiranjeevi fans fired crackers worth Rs 10,000/- at Harihar Mahal. It is also learnt that the producer hired the second theater Harihar Mahal for 50 days. In places like Mangalagiri (Vijaya and Gopala Krishna) and Narsarao pet (eswar mahal and chitralaya), Indra is released in adjacent theaters. In placed like Chilakaluripet and Ongole, the film Jayam in replaced by Indra in Srinivasa Theater and Srinivasa Theater respectively.

In Tenali, Chinni Krishna had a field day on 23rd July. Tenali is the hometown of storywriter Chinni Krishna. He personally took the print to Tirupati to perform Pooja. And he arranged a special premier show at 9 pm in Tenali on 23rd night. The distributor (of Guntur area) who offered 1.3 crores against the wishes of producer who was willing to sell for 1.5 crores, changed his mind after the preview show is completed and asked the producer to give it for 1.5 crores. But the producer relented to sell it even for 1.7 crores.
