Allu Arjun is slowly increasing his market and started signing up for new brand endorsements. After successfully endorsing the Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions, the actor also endorsed Rapido app. The latest Ad has fallen into a trouble now. TSRTC MD says that the ad commercial throws their corporation in a poor light and also conveys that they are inefficient.

TSRTC decided to send a legal notice to the firm and also the actor who endorsed the same. Sri. V.C. Sajjanar, IPS, Managing Director of TSRTC, has taken serious exception to a Rapido advertisement that features Tollywood actor Allu Arjun. In the advertisement that is being aired on YouTube, the actor is seen telling people that RTC buses take more time like ordinary dosas while Rapido would be so fast and safe that it would prepare masala dosa in the same time.

The advertisement has drawn flak from a host of people, including RTC commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees. They are condemning the negative manner in which RTC bus has been shown in comparison to Rapido service. Demeaning TSRTC will neither be tolerated by the TSRTC management nor by the commuters, admirers and our own and retired employees.

Further MD said, in fact actors should act in the advertisements which promote public transport for a better and environmentally cleaner society. MD also stated that TSRTC was in the service of the common man and it will send legal notice to the actor and to the firm which is promoting the advertisement.
