The pre-release event of Bhairavam starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas happened recently. The team expressed confidence in scoring a hit at the box office. However, in the event, Director Vijay Kanakamedala‘s speech became controversial when he expressed his political intention. This didn’t go well with the Netizens who have started trending #BoycottBhairavam on social media platforms.
Vijay Kanakamedala stated that the incoming of one person (hinting at Actor cum Politician Pawan Kalyan) a year ago into the Government had saved the Dharma. This unwanted political talk by the Director at a film event raised criticism and trolls, leading to the boycott calls of the film.
This happened earlier to Laila starring Vishwak Sen when Comedian Pruthvi Raj made a similar political talk in the pre-release event of the film. The team expressed their apology for his talk, but the damage was already done, and the film became a failure. Now, Netizens are coming out strongly against the film members and crew of Bhairavam for turning film events into political events.
This attitude of pleasing a Government and Actors who are part of the Government by targeting another Political party is of no use. Ultimately, it is the Producers and films that have to suffer, and it is better if film events stay non-political. On the other hand, there has been no response yet from the team or the Director regarding the boycott trend. Bhairavam is releasing on May 30th worldwide, and the team must hurry to mitigate the damage.
