Vishwak Sen asks for the film industry’s support
A couple of days ago, Vishwak took to Instagram to claim that the film was getting negative reviews on the ticketing platform BookMyShow and low ratings due to bots.
He brought up the topic at the press meet again and said, “I have to thank everyone who supported our film. It was more than expected because we took a risk, which paid off. However, we’re facing issues on BookMyShow where bots are spamming the page and giving us low ratings. It’s okay if people don’t support the film, but this isn’t okay. I don’t know who’s doing it, I don’t have the time to care about it right now.”
He also urged the film industry to back Gaami and lend their support. Without taking names, he said that he wished the bigwigs of the film industry watched the film and gave it their support. He said, “Maa cinema ki kuda oka naluguru pedda manushulu vachi chusi matladte bauntundi. Idi mana Telugu cinema. (I hope people from the film industry watch and promote our film. It’s our Telugu film.)”
Chandini Chowdary takes offence
After Vishwak and Vidyadhar spoke to the press, it was Chandini’s turn. However, when the media had no questions for her, she smiled and said sarcastically, “Obviously, no one asks questions to the actresses. You always have questions only for actors and directors, and have no questions for heroines. I have seen this for years now.”
When a media person took the initiative and asked her about her experience working in Gaami, she replied, “No need to make up something and ask on the spot. I had a good experience shooting for the film. It was hard but I loved acting in the film.”
