Akki's promotional tactic goes horribly wrong - Page 2

According to sources, the camera crew was acting on the behest of a certain 'administration official' from the the IPL team. And while Akshay and Co eventually left with not even half a second of air time to their credit, the Balaji team seized the opportunity to make it sound like a case of 'sabotage'. However, it appears that the IPL's code of conduct takes a strict view of surrogate advertising. And in this case, Akshay and company were ill-advised to wear the t-shirts. Moreover, the brand that had sponsored Akshay's VIP box, had not paid IPL for any airtime.

Ah-ha...so this is it! Looks like Balaji's promotional strategy is similar to Ajay's promotional strategy for SOS. Too bad a star of Ajay's stature had to play the victim card. I hope Akshay avoids doing the same. IMO his film is better placed than CE with most people looking forward to the sequel of OUATIM.

^I don't think Akshay's interested in doing things this way. He generally steers clear of such types of controversies. It seems more like Balaji strategy. They cried foul over the opening night thing too.

Anyways, OUATIM2 should be a better film than CE for sure. Milan Luthria vs Rohit Shetty. There's little competition. 😆

Yep so I was right. Balaji's strategy is to blame SRK and get mileage out of that now. They did the same with the opening night issue also. 😆

Akki is shareef, but sadly Balaji is not. 😆

SRK and Akshay didn't see eye to eye at the match? Perhaps cuz SRK was too busy going crazy for his team 😆

I hope this stupid clash does not go ugly like the last time. Don't want deja vu of OSO vs JTHJ please
