Hyderabad: Top Tollywood producers and directors thanked Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for resolving the two-week strike by film industry workers. The strike had stalled shootings across the state and delayed several releases.
Despite several rounds of talks among producers, unions, and industry leaders, no agreement was reached. As the deadlock dragged on, CM Revanth Reddy directed state representatives to step in. With his intervention, the workers withdrew their protest and normal activity resumed.
