Now, in order to curb the video piracy and also to remove it his line that he will spend Rs 2 crores is another game plan to give a presumption to the people as to how many crores this film will earn. Just like the way the makers of ‘Magadheera’ resorted to cheap tricks for publicity, perhaps that’s what Prasad has been coming up with to get his free publicity.
For those who get the piracy CDs and its sellers to the police, Prasad will be giving Rs 2000 and like this, he would be giving it to whoever does it. Later, through the lucky lottery system, he is going to choose three members from each district and is going to award them with Rs 2 lakhs.
Many are asking whether all this is possible? Just for the sake of Rs 2000, will anyone go to the police stations? Especially, those who resort to piracy usually have criminal backgrounds and they will never take these baits of Rs 2000. Associating with them would mean inviting trouble. There was a time when Mahesh Babu raided a shop in Warangal for selling the pirated CDs of ‘Arjun’ and he had to face the toughest time of his life. It seems that Mahesh Babu was regretting his decision since he had to go around courts.
Some say that even the producer of ‘Simha’ knows all this is not going to work out but like said before, he has given this Rs 2 crores announcement just to make the innocent people believe that the film will earn many crores.
