The Telugu film industry has been garnering a lot of attention since the last few years. With major and big hits like Baahubali, KGF Chapter 2, Pushpa: The Rise, RRR, and others, South Indian films and their stars have become a favourite amongst the audience. Now, according to the latest update, the Telugu Film Chamber has released some key steps which will be implemented from September 10, 2022.
