There is a common belief that Gen Z audiences come to theatres only when there is a hype during film promotions.
Believing in this school of thought, "Barabar Premistha" actor Chandrahass sang a vulgar song on the dais at the film’s pre-release event. But what was the outcome?
On the release day, many shows were cancelled because not even a single ticket was sold, and overall, no audience cared about the film.
Forget the general audience, even the media showed no interest. Critics did not bother to watch or review the film. Moreover, it miserably flopped at the box office.
This episode teaches an important lesson to new age actors including Chandrahas. Showing attitude, speaking vulgarly and giving audacious build ups can shut the door on one’s own career.
Actors should first learn to be humble, cultured and appear hardworking and endearing. Only then do the choice of stories and luck matter.
Chandrahass needs to learn a lot from society, judging by the kind of treatment he is receiving now.
What ultimately happened because of doing this film, Barabar Premista, was just one thing, a police case for public misconduct.
His father, Prabhakar, came before the media to give an explanation and also apologized to society for his son’s vulgar act.
In the end, the situation turned out like this; the film was gone and only legal cases remained for the actor.
Adding to the pain of failure, he may also have to spend a considerable amount on advocates to face and come out of these cases.
