Was New Traffic Rules implemented by movie

The Lok Sabha passed the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2019, to amend the provisions under the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. There are many violations like Overloading Two-wheelers, Drunken Driving, Overspeeding, Dangerous Driving, Driving Without Car or Two Wheeler Insurance, Signal Jumping, Riding Without Helmet, Driving Without Permit and etc.

However, this action of the government has brought Mahesh Babu's 2018 release Bharat Ane Nenu into the limelight once again. The film featured a similar sequence where the newly appointed CM, played by Mahesh Babu, changed many laws of the state, including those regarding traffic rules. Mahesh Babu's character is forced to take up his father's position as the Chief Minister and makes drastic changes in laws.

People are comparing this scene to the current scenario, tweeting that the government has taken inspiration from director Siva Koratala's film. Fans on Twitter have been discussing how this film might have probably inspired the government to make this change.

Fans of Mahesh Babu took to Twitter to share memes comparing the new rules. One user wrote, "I think the government has watched #BHARATHaneNENU over the traffic rules. Another user wrote, "These new traffic rules are inspired by #maheshbabu movie ".

Defending her husband against the trolls, Namrata Shirodkar says, 'The idea in Bharat Ane Nenu that heavier fines for breaking traffic rules would discourage commuters from rash driving, is a very good one. And if it's being implemented by the Government we should be happy. Instead of praising Mahesh for doing motivational cinema some people are busy lashing out at him, claiming he is responsible for a dent in the pockets of commuters. claiming he is responsible for a dent in the pockets of commuters. Any good that comes from the cinema needs to be applauded.
