Prabhas and Mahesh Babu Reject Rs 25 Crore Real Estate Ad Offer: Why?
Hyderabad: For many years, Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have been the top choices for TV ads. But now, with the growth of the Pan-Indian market, Telugu cinema is becoming more popular. So, brands are also looking at Tollywood stars like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and Ram Charan for their ads.
But there is one big Tollywood hero who always says no to ads—Prabhas. Recently, a real estate company offered Prabhas Rs. 25 crore for just three days of ad shooting. That’s a huge amount! But Prabhas said a clear no. Even though he is working on many movies like Raja Saab, Fauji, Spirit, Salaar 2, and Kalki 2, he is not interested in doing commercials, especially for real estate, which is a risky business.
After Prabhas said no, the same company went to Mahesh Babu. He has done many brand ads before. But this time, he also said no. Mahesh felt that if the real estate project failed or had problems, it could hurt his good image in the public.
In the past, some stars got into trouble because they promoted real estate brands that later shut down or had legal issues. So now, actors like Prabhas and Mahesh are being more careful. They want to protect their name and only support brands they trust. Both Prabhas and Mahesh Babu have shown that trust is more important than money. In today’s world, one wrong move can affect their image.
This cautious approach by Tollywood stars reflects a growing trend in the Indian entertainment industry, where actors are becoming more selective about the brands they endorse. It’s not just about the money; it’s about maintaining a positive public image and ensuring that the brands they associate with are reliable and trustworthy. This trend is likely to continue as more actors and celebrities become aware of the potential risks and long-term impacts of their brand endorsements.
