Ever since the first look poster of Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Vakeel Saab’ is out, there is this widespread debate by feminists and that morale police who speak about gender bias all the time. As the Hindi version poster of the film Pink has Amitabh and also the three girls including Taapsee on the first look poster, these people are questioning why Anjali and Nivetha Thomas are crushed out from first look posters.
Also, some ask about the title too as the title talks about a lawyer rather than the important problem the film actually addressed. Well, all these things are easy to be raised on a Twitter timeline, but producing a film at a high budget and marketing it in such a way that it will recover the total investment is a daunting task. And to make that happen, surely ‘Pink’ way can’t be followed for ‘Vakeel Saab’ if Dil Raju’s plans are anything to go by.
As Bollywood had lots of A-Centres and multiplex theatres, it makes it very easy for movies like Pink to survive at the box office. But then, here in Tollywood, pulling audiences to women-centric films is a herculean task. To make that happen, they put the face of hero on the poster to invite footfalls and the rest of the content inside the movie will be the same mostly.
To make business happen, surely Pawan’s face is the essential thing on the posters provided with the fact that Dil Raju has spent huge on the film.
