Social media erupted last night when news emerged about Andhra Pradesh and Telangana implementing changes. ticket hikes dominated last night. Reports surfaced that Telangana was selling PVR tickets for Rs.453 (including taxes), and the same was true for War 2. The increase didn't sit right with Telugu fans.
