No More 'Happy Days' and 'Call Centers'

After the recent development of the Telugu language receiving the 'Classical language' status, more and more efforts and initiatives are being forwarded by the government to maintain the sanctity and integrity of the Telugu language. The first clean up task seems to be happening in the film circuit.

Apparently, there is news that there are proposals for Entertainment Tax Waiver For 'Pure Telugu Film Titles' and this is not something new since the Tamil and the Kannada movie industries have already implemented this system. So, if you are expecting titles like 'Happy Days' 'Call Centers' then it might just become a thing of the past now.

While some folks in the film circuit are welcoming this new initiative, there are those who are chalking up plans to come up with metro centric movies and have to look at the Telugu dictionaries to come up with apt titles for their modern names. Let us see how this goes.
