The Andhra Pradesh government has officially approved a temporary hike in ticket prices for the Telugu-dubbed version of Kantara Legend Chapter 1, set to release on October 2, 2025.
The revised ticket rates will be applicable for 10 days: From October 2 to October 11 in all theatres across the state, as mentioned below.
- Single Screens will see a hike of ₹75 per ticket
- Multiplexes will have a ₹100 increase per ticket
Additionally, a special premiere show is scheduled for October 1 at 10 PM, with the same ticket hike applied. It is widely known that there was some controversy after the film's pre-release event, but in the end, the Andhra Pradesh government permitted the ticket hikes for the Kantara team just like the other Telugu films. In Telangana, the film will not have any ticket rate hikes.
This move is expected to boost the film’s opening and cater to high audience demand, especially given the buzz around the Kannada original.
