Telugu Producers Council Linked to Recent Blockbuster Successes
The Telugu Film Producers Council helps filmmakers register movie titles and complete censor procedures.
Some people noticed that several movies using this process became very successful.
The films Maa Inti Bangaram, Korean Konagaraju and Irumudi reportedly earned more than Rs 100 crore together in two Telugu-speaking states.
Kalki 2898 AD also used the process before earning more than Rs 1,000 crore worldwide.
This does not prove that the council makes movies successful.
It may simply be a coincidence.
The council also helps solve disagreements between producers, actors and technicians.
Its secretary said the council wants producers to recover their investments and make money.
