Really is it a Movie Mafia or Monopoly of 4 Big producers?

Now it is the verbal war between Big and Small producers in tollywood (Telugu Film Industry) who are at loggerheads with each other over theaters availability In Andhra Pradesh for their movie screening. Small budget movies are being suppressed by big Producers with the influence / understanding they have with the Theatres owners / Distributors says the Tollywood Actor Raja who enacted a real life drama of suicide having consumed sleeping pills and went for hospital for a stomach wash as per Deccan Chronicle News Paper report. Raja alleges that big producers like Allu Aravind,Suresh,Dil Raju,Ramoji rao have gain control over 80% of theatres in A.P.They pay a monthly rental of 1-2lakh rupess to theatre owners and keep them in their control. How come a small budget producer afford to pay huge sums to Theatre owners? There are over 2,400 theares in A.P and we are struggling to get theatres for our movie as wrong message being conveyed to the distributors not to purchase the movie and theatre owners are told not to entertain us, says Raja.
DO you feel is it a Movie Mafia or Monopoly of 4 Big producers? What steps government must take to keep the small budget movies live? Share your views on the same please?????
