It has become a trend for celebrities to make controversial statements in an attempt to gain attention or sympathy before the release of their films. Kiran Abbavaram, with his speech before the release of “Ka,” gained sympathy. Another young actor criticized the big stars for not agreeing to attend his movie functions.
Similarly, Varun Tej took a dig at Allu Arjun at the recent event of “Matka.” He said one should not forget our roots and persons with whom we became successful. It is a known fact that Allu Arjun and other stars from the megastar family are not on good terms these days.
Some say Varun Tej should have avoided taking an indirect dig at Allu Arjun, while others say it will help him get attention for this movie. But the film has already generated positive buzz with its promotional material. He is actively touring various locations to generate excitement. Why was he compelled to make such controversial statements?
We need to wait and observe the extent to which this will his film. “Matka” is schedueled to hit the theaters on 14th of this month.
