Can Fans Save Pawan Kalyan?
Even though Pawan Kalyan has made no real effort to promote Katamarayudu to help it recover a few more crores, his devoted fans have now started an online campaign to save this film and their favorite actor’s image.
Katamarayudu has so far recovered around Rs 60 Cr share but it is still about Rs 25 Cr short of breaking even. Fans of Pawan Kalyan look to have hurt with the trolling of anti-fans and the embarrassment caused by successive failures so they have decided to somehow land Katamarayudu at least in below-average category.
An online campaign has been started by some sections of Pawan fans, appealing fans across the Telugu states to watch the film again in theatres on 9th April, coming Sunday. Given that Katamarayudu has been replaced with other films in significant number of theatres in the Telugu states, the ploy of fans may not make the film a hit.
But, if this strategy works and Pawan’s massive fan base really storms theatres on that one single day, the film will surely collect a few more crores. It will also lessen the losses of buyers and save the film from being called a disaster. Let’s see how far Pawan fans can implement this strategy.
If they succeed, we may see fans of other stars too resorting to similar ploys in future.
