Srirastu Subhamastu Fails Yet Again
Makers of Srirastu Subhamastu hoped that their film would do well in the second attempt, but the US audience didn’t show any interest in watching it on second release. This film has been turned down by the overseas audience when it was first released on 4th August.
As the film has been doing steady business in the Telugu states, the makers believed that it will be received by the US audience if they release it again. They have claimed that they are rereleasing it on public demand, but the US audience didn’t pay attention to it despite no notable releases during this weekend.
Srirastu was able to collect only a few thousands of dollars in its rerelease while Pelli Choopulu added more than $ 30K to its tally in its fifth weekend. Srirastu is more or less a safe venture in India but it is a big failure in overseas.
Tollywood actors cheap than Prostitutes ?
We all knew actors and actresses would go to any level in case they earn money. Most of them endorse various brands and act in lots of ads without understanding the consequences. Despite Government has warned that misleading brand endorsements can get them 5 years imprisonment, most of them continue to do the same.
Now in this case, recently an online Rummy game site has roped in Rana Daggubati and Prakash Raj as their brand ambassadors. The Rummy online site is making some extensive ads all over.
In their Facebook page, they shared their advertisement showcasing Rana Daggubati and Prakash Raj. However fans lashed out both of them in the comments section. Most comments said, they don’t have social responsibility and they are worse than sluts who will do anything for money.
Despite the comments are being deleted, the page is completely flooded with more negative comments. Not even one single comment is in favour of Rummy gaming nor the two actors. It’s high time they don’t accept such ads and act responsibly.
