While the Telangana Exhibitors Association stood firm on percentage-sharing for all future releases, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC) wanted more time. Now, two weeks after the release of the Ram Charan-starrer, as it grosses over Rs 300 crore worldwide, producer Venkata Satish Kilaru of Vriddhi Cinemas claims that decisions about the film were made without his knowledge,
