Telangana government may ban all chase scenes involving motorbikes, cars and speedboats in films.

If you've been a fan of the action and chase sequences in Telugu films, here's some bad news: The Telangana government may ban all chase scenes involving motorcycles, cars and speedboats in films.

According to this Telegraph report, a notification was issued to Film Chambers of Commerce and associations of producers, directors and actors to censor all such scenes involving chasing motorcycles, cars and speedboats.

This decision comes after the death of many youngsters who have tried to imitate these speed racing stunts in real life.

One of the biggest accidents involving bikes, was the death of cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin's son, whose bike skidded and crashed on a Hyderabad expressway in 2011.

This isn't the first instance of films being accused for influencing real life incidents. In UP, a strict ban was imposed on film scenes showing people violating road and traffic rules.

According to this Times of India report, the UP transport department in June imposed this order given the large number of accidents and deaths due to road mishaps.

The order was imposed immediately and district magistrates had been asked to monitor content being shown in homes via cable operators.
