Quotes
M S Raju
Veteran producer
“Despite all the negative chatter on social media and YouTube, I believe word-of-mouth publicity is still the most powerful and genuine factor for Telugu cinema. It has helped many films set box-office records over decades. We must continue to trust the audience to spread positivity about a good film, because social media has its limitations”

“It’s difficult to douse once it spreads. It’s better to keep a distance from the raging fire than to try controlling it. Social media is handled by lakhs of young, sharp fans who follow their favourite stars passionately. They wait for an opportunity to troll teasers, trailers, and films of rival stars, and this has become unstoppable”

“Fan wars have turned quite ugly, and the hatred is spilling over into films, cutting short their life span. Earlier, big films used to run for 100 or 175 days, but now their fate is decided within five or six days due to negativity on social media”
