Rumours are agog in the political circles that Jr NTR has struck a deal with Telangana Jagriti president Kavitha to ensure smooth running of the film Adhurs, which was released in all parts of the state, including Telangana, on Wednesday.
Grapevine has it that Jr NTR had offered an amount of Rs 1.5 crore to Kavitha to withdraw her call given to the Telangana activists to stall the movie in Hyderabad and nine other districts. Though Kavitha reportedly demanded Rs 4 crore for the same, Jr NTR managed to convince her to settle with Rs 1.5 crore, since the producers were not aware of the profit the film could make. For Jr NTR, the film is a prestigious one as it was released after a long gap of nearly one year.
However, Kavitha told Jr NTR that the boycott call would be in force for a day or two, since the sudden withdrawal of the call would get her a bad image. “The boycott call would also bring a lot of publicity to the film and would be in the news. That way, it would offset the loss caused in the first two or three days,” she is learnt to have told him.
