Paid to show up

UTV sure knows how to create buy hype over a film that may or may not generate interest.
After the news that people were paid to show love and support to Anil Kapoor's buddy Tom Cruise on his visit to India for MI4, UTV decided they wanted to use that gimmick somewhere.
And they had the opportunity to use it at the trailer launch for Rowdy Rathore.
Turns out scores of people were paid Rs 200 to come out, cheer Akshay and Sonakshi and basically show support for the next Dabanng Rowdy Rathore.
Sonakshi is only one film old but its sad that people have to be paid such a paltry sum to show up for Akshay. He better have a hit with this one or he's going to have to join Bachchan Jr's boat very soon!
Yes, you'll all get your share!! I have a pile of 100s here!

Akshay - Oh yea, we're awesome. All these people love us
Prabhudeva - Idiot!
Sonakshi - So happy I am back on stage!

The paid crowd

  2. It's sad that they have to pay for people to show up for these events. The Bollywood stars have too much exposure. People just aren't interested in movies anymore. The Star lives and hooks ups are more spicy and dishing out flops isn't helping either. It's about time someone made a decent movie and acted like an actor and not just get paid for looking good or being someone's son or daughter.

    Paying ppl to show up means whatever you are doing is not working.


    Wake up Bollyhood!

  3. These people play in the multi-crores. And for someone as big as UTV one or 2 flops aren't that big a deal coz they have so much money to play with.
    Bollywood is way too much in your face now. No excitement or mystery left anymore
