A twitter used named G. Pradeep who identifies himself as a “Nationalist” through his twitter bio, claimed that actor Suriya paid Rs. 3 lakh and 72 thousand that is $ 5000 to get the 12 minutes video of his “Jai Bhim” film stream on the official youtube channel of “Oscar”. He came up with a couple of screen shots from “Scene at the academy” and said that he could have spent the money in opening a medical clinic in a rural clinic by referring to Jyothika’s statement about maintaining hospitals as same as temples.

The statement didn’t go well among the fans of the actor who countered saying that it was just the fees which requires for the submission and Oscar has the rights to not exhibit it if the content of the film doesn’t reach meet their expectations. Fans also argued that videos of tons of Tamil and Indian movies would have been featured in “Oscar” youtube channel if Rs. 3,72,000 is the only amount that requires to do it. Political analyst and Sports commentator Sumanth Raman also became subject to criticism for sharing the tweet asking whether Suriya clarified on the matter or not.

“If you pay Rs 3,72,000, the video will be published Oscar’s YouTube Channel. This is how Jai Bhim video is streamed in Oscar Channel. So actor Suriya started following cheap marketing tricks as like DMKians?” Padeep said in his twee by adding a couple of screen shots from Scene at the Academy.

Why don’t you sanghis try to list movies like திரௌபதி & ருத்ரதாண்டவம். Don’t you have budget of 5000$?

What scared you from sharing the complete document?
You chose points that helps to insert your agenda instead.

Such expense and marketing is an accepted part of the run-up to the Oscars. All hopefuls including from Hollywood do it. It’s not a trick. It’s just Oscar SOP.

Feel pity on you. So why none other tamil films featured on Oscar you tube chanel. Means they did not hv the registration amount (to pay) that you mentioned? We don’t want ur cheap publicity to the film. It already had achieved the milestones that you never imagined @Suriya_offl

Even for national award there’s an entry fee so will we call it buying, and Oscar is completely a different where the members of the Academy who are spread throughout the world should watch it and “Scene at…” Is introducing the film to them
