Always there is a chance of few filmmakers coming up with interesting posters for a film, but the content inside the film will not have resemblance sometimes to the content on the poster. That will backfire at the box office in few cases.
Last Friday we have seen two releases, Andhagadu and Fashion Designer, which are both high on publicity but tumbled big time at the box office to rake up huge moolah. Both these films have some interesting posters that attracted the attention of everyone. Fashion Designer’s tape-measuring poster has created a havoc with controversy erupting over Sumanth measuring the chest perimeter of Anisha Ambrose with a tape. This is the superhit poster of the film we have to say. Then there is this ad of Andhagadu where Rajendra Prasad is seen holding hands of both Raj Tarun and Hebbah Patel.
What’s funny is that inside Fashion Designer movie, hero measures length and breadth of girls through his eyes only but never uses a tape, and that is the core concept of the film. So how come the measurement poster stands true? That affected negatively on the audience who are expecting that measuring scene to come.
Same is the case with Andhagadu as there is no scene in the film where Rajendra Prasad, who plays a ghost, interacts with any other character other than the hero. These fake posters have surely misled certain sections of audience and that in a way that also led to negative talk on these films, pouring water on hopes of producers.
