Rumours are doing the rounds in Tollywood circuit that actress Rakul Preet Singh is even paid for the promotion. Talk has it that Rakul is apparently paid to take part in the promotions of her ready-for-release film Winner. Producers of Winner said to have taken two days of Rakul’s dates and using those dates during the publicity activities of film.

Going into details, Rakul’s dates were blocked much in advance by the producers. As per the initial plan, a song was supposed to be shot on both Rakul and Sai Dharam Tej. However, the makers said to have dropped to shoot the song since the film’s release date – Feb 24 – is announced already and don’t want to miss the date as it also coincides with Maha Shivratri festival.

This isn’t all. Even the film’s budget said to have shot up already and taking note of all these, director, producers and the team in unison decided to call off the shoot of the song.

This resulted in the two days dates of Rakul and producers decided to use it for the promotions of Winner. So, if one is wondering how come Rakul is aggressively promoting Winner and giving a spree of interviews to TV channels, print media, this is the story.
