Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has created a lot of buzz much ahead of its release date, thanks to its blockbuster music album.
But the film is now lagging behind in terms of promotions and hype while its competition Sarileru Neekevvaru is basking all the glory.
Mahesh Babu made a strategic move to invite Chiranjeevi as the Chief Guest for Sarileru event that left Team Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo puzzled about whom to invite to their event.
They decided not to invite any Chief Guests, which is why the event hasn't created much buzz. They are yet to launch the theatrical trailer too.
They are under tremendous pressure after the trailer of Sarileru Neekevvaru turned out to be a big hit. They need to match the hype of Sarileru Neekevvaru's trailer as their film is releasing just a day after Mahesh's film.
Allu Arjun who was keen on the promotions of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo until a few months ago is not being as enthusiastic as Mahesh is for Sarileru Neekevvaru.
Team AVPL deciding to stick to Jan 12 despite not being able to get desired number of theaters also didn't go well with fans.
It is high time to switch the gears and stand up against the mighty looking Mahesh starrer.
