Allu Aravind , brother in law of Chiranjeevi , father of Allu Arjun , who has a stake in JUSTICKETS, the ticketing app that handles movie ticketing in Andhra and Telangana would bag the tender called by AP Technological Services on behalf of Andhra Pradesh State Film, Television and Theatre Development Corporation recently. The only other company in the fray was a Gulf based company, whose bid was more than JUSTICKETS.
BookMy Show, Chennai based company, did not enter the fray as it is owned by Paytm which has a tie-ups with JUSTICKETS by which5 it offers cashback for payments done through their UPI gateway. Allu Venktesh known as Bobby is a director board member of the ticketing company and also runs the production company. Chiranjeevi was in the forefront to get Jagan ministry to hike ticket rates for big budget films.
The handling of the online ticketing system will be entirely dictated by the AP Government as they fix the ticket rates. New norms for low budget films are on the cards. The fear that ticket money collected by the company and transferred to AP exchequer will not come to hands of the distributors and theater owners immediately. It could take it's sweet own time. Secondly, Producers like Dil Raju had grouped producers to bring down booking charges levied by the ticketing company.
