The government of Andhra Pradesh is proposing to introduce a new online ticketing system to have a complete command over the way the cinema theatres function in the state. There are mixed responses for this proposal and director Deva Katta had some strong comments to make on the same.

"Govt sells railway tickets to credit into Govt A/Cs b’cause railways r run by Govt. Is d AP Govt going to fund all d movies to hav sch revenue routing control over a product that a private entity hav invested in #JustAsking" tweeted Deva Katta, adding, "Does d proposed AP Govt online ticketing setup means making a movie is like investing into a Govt contract, later waiting in line to get d bills cleared? Is this how d producer has to get his investment back from such ticket sales? Pls correct me if my perception is."

Deva Katta's next film is Republic, starring Sai Dharam Tej, Aishwarya Rajesh, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, and others. The film will hit the screens soon.
