Once, they were just a routine affair which received the attendance of the cast and crew and very little activity involved in it. But these days, pre-release events of movies, including audio release, have gained huge popularity and are being held with lot of fanfare and hungama, that too in front of gatherings at spacious venues that are packed to capacity. And quite a few Telugu television channels have joined the fanfare and these days, most movie production and release related events are beamed live into the drawing rooms. If earlier, awards presentation events were sought after, given the high activity events including song and dance apart from star presence, even the audio release is live now. These shows have caught the fancy of viewers and some of the telecasts have begun to compete with regular serials and shows on air at that point of time. Sensing the reach of the small screen, the big screen teams are not shying away from using it to the hilt.
