Ibomma Ravi’s arrest has sparked considerable discussion and debate within Telugu film circles and among audiences. The individual behind the film piracy operation, Ibomma, is currently in police custody, facing serious consequences for his actions.
Amidst this situation, an interesting development occurred when media approached senior Tollywood actor Shivaji Raja. Reporters sought his comments on the incident and its potential positive impact on the film industry.
However, Shivaji appeared unwilling to address the question. Instead, he quickly shifted the conversation towards Nandamuri Balakrishna. When a media person pressed him for a reaction, he simply responded with “Jai Balayya,” indicating he had no intention of answering the original query.
Later, when asked about cinema ticketing issues and the regulation of popcorn and coffee prices, Shivaji suggested that the government should be responsible for overseeing these matters.
The veteran actor explained that the government possesses the financial resources and audit capabilities needed to make decisions and set guidelines for such issues. He clearly stated that the current pricing model might have problems, and it would be best for the government to consider this and issue a ruling.
A social media post also captured the moment a reporter questioned actor Shivaji about Ibomma Ravi, to which Shivaji replied, “Jai Balayya.”
This interaction was shared online on December 13, 2025.
The discussion covered various aspects, including Ibomma Ravi’s arrest, the issue of Tollywood piracy, movie ticket and popcorn prices, and actor Shivaji’s public comments, particularly his “Jai Balayya” response within Telugu cinema.
