Either good or bad; either free or paid; every movie needs promotion. Producers spend lakhs of currency on publicity. But, new progression these days is create a disputation scene in your film and media will use this as win-win situation frying a controversy out of this to help themselves in conducting debate programs on off peak hours and thus producers too can enjoy free promotion on air. When celebrities are known to be easy targets as seen for films similar to A Woman in Brahmanism and Denikaina Ready, freshly Brahmin community raised a revolt against Balupu producer and director for an objectionable scene and dialogue.
The dialogue shown in Bapulu trailer is, “Mogudulaa Unnavante Manobhaavaalu Debba Thintunnayi... Pindaalu Pettesthunnaru” is a direct satire on Brahmins who have done Pinda Pradhanam for Mohan Babu at the time of Denikaina Ready controversy. AP Brahmin Seva Sangham immediately jumped into action warning the Balupu director to erase the dialogue and chop off those portions in final cut. A representation is submitted in Censor Board and Film Chamber.
Meanwhile, Balupu is releasing on June 28th. Let us see, how producers and particularly, hero Ravi Teja who needs a strong hit will make use of this controversy to gain free promotions.
