The Telangana High Court has temporarily stayed a government order permitting higher ticket prices for the film They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan. The order allowed ticket prices to rise to ₹800 for premiere shows. The stay follows a petition challenging the pricing as arbitrary and unfair to viewers.
The Court issued notice to the state government and will examine the legality of differential pricing for specific films. It also directed the Police Commissioner to ensure that tickets are sold only to adult audiences (18+) in accordance with CBFC ratings.
The matter is scheduled for further hearing on October 9.
