For unversed, the Nizam territory encompasses several regions, including the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, along with Adilabad, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Karimnagar, Nalgonda, Medak, Nizamabad, Rangareddy, and Warangal. From a film industry perspective, this area also extends to three districts in Karnataka—Gulbarga, Bidar, and Raichur—and seven districts in the Marathwada region, comprising Aurangabad, Latur, Nanded, Parbhani, Bheed, Jalna, and Osmanabad. Notably, Nizam territory is a crucial target for box-office collections as over 50% of revenue in the Telugu film industry is generated from this area.
