Pandemic affected the Telugu film industry a lot, especially the films which were planned to be released in 2020 and 2021. Many films got postponed in the last two years. Even the Pan-Indian films changed their release dates. The situation of small and medium budget films was horrible. Many celebrities spoke about the pandemic effect on Tollywood on many occasions.
Actor Nikhil Siddhartha spoke about the same issue very recently. He wrote on his Twitter handle about the pandemic effect on his films. “After the success of Arjun Suravaram, I signed 4 movies. But the release dates have gone haywire,”Nikhill posted on Twitter.
