Who gave so much wealth to the film star and the tv channel tycoon?
This wedding may pale into a tiny dot of insignificance when compared to the ostentatiousness of the Prince William's Wedding which took place recently. The cost of the Royal Wedding was estimated between Pounds 30 million and 30 billion!
One Indian female Tennis Star sold the broadcasting rights of her wedding for a fat sum. Will Junior NTR also sell the broadcasting rights of his marriage? What will happen to his father-in-law TV tycoon?
The costs of British Royal Wedding were apparently born by the Queen and the Prince, and probably the British Exchequer under the pretext of providing protocol and security to the guests. Who will bear the costs of Indian star weddings? The star and his father-in-law will initially spend from their black-money. The star will try to increase his price for new films. The T.V. Channel will also try to find new avenues of income.
Junior N.T.R. will come before the crowds with great speeches, folding his hands and making promises.
