Allu Arjun has landed in a soup. He is set to be served legal notice by the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC).
TSRTC MD Sajjanar issued an official media release in this regard the other day.
“Sajjanar, IPS, Managing Director of TSRTC, has taken serious exception to a Rapido advertisement that features Tollywood actor Allu Arjun. In the advertisement that is being aired on YouTube, the actor is seen telling people that RTC buses take more time like ordinary dosas while Rapido would be so fast and safe that it would prepare masala dosa in the same time.”
“The advertisement has drawn flak from a host of people, including RTC commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees. They are condemning the negative manner in which RTC bus has been shown in comparison to Rapido service. Demeaning TSRTC will neither be tolerated by the TSRTC management nor by the commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees.” The media release read.
TSRTC confirmed that Allu Arjun will be served legal notice very soon. Also, Sajjanar urged celebrities to refrain from promoting such content in the future.
