Recently, a video featuring actress Nivetha Pethuraj refusing to open the trunk of her car went viral on the internet. However, netizens quickly identified inconsistencies, noting that the supposed police officers in the video were wearing improper badges and casual footwear, suggesting that the scenario was staged.
The truth behind the stunt has now emerged. Directed by Pawan Sadineni, known for his work on various small films and web series, a new web series titled “Paruvu” is set to be released on Zee 5, produced by Megastar Chiranjeevi’s daughter, Sushmitha Konidela. In this series, Naresh Agastya and Nivetha Pethuraj play leading roles. The viral video was part of a promotional strategy for the series.
It has become increasingly common for filmmakers to use pranks and misleading videos as promotional tools for their projects. In the promotional poster for “Paruvu,” a dead body is depicted being placed in the trunk of a car, which explains why Nivetha Pethuraj refuses to open it in the viral video shared recently by the makers.
