The state of Texas, especially Dallas, has become the hub for all cacophony due to the overpopulation of Telugus in the region.
It is known that the area is already a hotspot for film fanatics who create ruckus in movie theaters when their favorite heroes' films are released. They throw cut pieces of newspapers, replicating behavior seen in India.
There have been instances where theater authorities strictly refused to screen Telugu films due to such over-the-top acts.
Not stopping there, we are now seeing Telugu film pre-release events happening in Dallas with the support of local sponsors.
The noteworthy point is that the producers of these films do not incur any expenses for the pre-release events in Dallas—whether it is Daku Maharaj, Game Changer at present or Raaja Saab and Viswambhara, down the line.
The event managers gather funds from sponsors, organize the event, and take their share of the profits.
This trend may affect the craze for Telugu film actors in the USA, as their frequent appearances might reduce their rarity.
Consequently, Telugu events in the USA, such as those hosted by TANA, ATA, NATS, and others, which thrived for years primarily due to the presence of film actors and actresses, may lose their charm.
These events risk becoming as outdated as cultural gatherings like those at Tyagaraja Gana Sabha or Ravindra Bharathi in Hyderabad.
Setting that aside, Dallas has also become a hub for misdemeanors and felonies committed by jobless Telugu individuals these days.
A recent viral video exposed this issue, showing miscreants from the Telugu community blackmailing Indian businesses in Dallas.
They fabricate videos to extort sums of up to USD 100,000 but faced resistance from shopkeepers who exposed their schemes. These actions harm the reputation of the community, leading to unified police complaints.
Such individuals risk felony charges and imprisonment for tarnishing the image of law-abiding Indians.
On the whole, Dallas has become a hub for indiscipline due to the growing Telugu community. It is high time for the Telugu community to act responsibly and protect its image in a foreign land.
