‘Ranabaali’ makers CLARIFIES ticket price hike for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna starrer, call it ‘completely false’ | Telugu Movie News

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘Ranabaali’ is gearing up for its theatrical release, with expectations building around the period action drama. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026. As promotions gather pace, the makers have now cleared the air on reports surrounding its ticket prices in the Telugu states.

‘Ranabaali’ ticket price hike denied

The production house strongly denied reports that ‘Ranabaali’ will come with a Rs 50 ticket hike in Andhra Pradesh. In a clarification shared on X, the production house said the reports were “completely false” and stated that it had not applied for a ticket price increase in either Andhra Pradesh or Telangana. The makers also confirmed that the Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna starrer will be released at standard ticket prices across both Telugu states.

‘Ranabaali’ to release at standard ticket prices

The clarification comes at a time when ticket prices have become a major talking point around big Telugu releases. Several high-profile films have sought approval for increased rates, especially for premiere shows and the first few days. Ranabaali, however, will not follow that route. The production house expressed confidence that audiences will enjoy the film during the festive season, while keeping regular ticket rates in place could make the theatrical outing more accessible for families and fans.

About ‘Ranabaali’ release date, cast, and story

Set against the backdrop of the Madras Famine of 1876–78, ‘Ranabaali’ is mounted as a period action drama with a strong resistance story. Vijay Deverakonda plays the central character, while Rashmika Mandanna portrays Jayamma, his wife and companion. Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo plays the antagonist, Sir Theodore Hector. The film is being planned as a multilingual release and marks another reunion for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, who have previously appeared together in ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade.’ With the ticket-price speculation now put to rest, the focus will return to the film’s promotions and its October 16 arrival during the Dussehra season.
