Mumbai: South stars Allu Arjun and Sreeleela have landed in soup over an alleged misleading ad endorsement for an educational institution.
The All India Students’ Federation’s (AISF) Vijayawada chapter, sharing a video, has demanded legal action against the actors for the misleading advertisement. Likening it to promotion of betting apps on social media, they have sought for framing of similar charges against them.
“Actors like Sreeleela and Allu Arjun endorse some educational institutions and mislead students. They are saying no one but students at Sri Chaitanya get good ranks and are being offered best in education. They are taking money to promote such brands, and those who believe them are paying lakhs of rupees and facing numerous problems in the hostels,” said Vijayawada AISF representative.
The representative further alleged that the actors agreed to endorse the institute without even checking if the students shown in the advertisement received those ranks or not.
“Cases should be filed against Sreeleela and Allu Arjun for ruining students’ lives with charges similar to those registered for endorsing betting apps,” the students’ body added.
