Safety First: Productions Put on Hold
The temporary shutdown affects two of Tollywood's most awaited projects:
- NC24: Naga Chaitanya's upcoming film directed by popular filmmaker Kalyan Shankar
- NBK111: Balakrishna's collaboration with director Bobby Kolli
Both teams have confirmed that all updates regarding revised shooting schedules will be announced only after paying proper respects to the accident victims and their families.
