According to a Pinkvilla report, ‘Pushpa’ actor Allu Arjun turned down an endorsement for a tobacco company worth a hefty sum.
Pinkvilla quoted a source saying, “AA received a hefty sum for a tobacco brand endorsement but he rejected it without a second thought as he personally does not consume it. The actor does not want his fans to watch the ad and start consuming the product, which can lead to addiction”.
“While smoking in movies is something that’s not in his control, whenever possible he has amplified the message of being against the idea of consumption,” adds the source.
Earlier, actress Sai Pallavi had also rejected an endorsement promoting fairness cream for which she was offered a whopping Rs 2 crore.
On the professional front, Allu Arjun is set to commence shooting for Pushpa 2 in July.
