Shame on Swindlers
The instance of Ajay Bhupathi is not the first case in Tollywood. It has been persistent for a long time. While the budding aspirants should be careful and take precautions for not falling prey for such fake casting calls, but the scamsters should also have a virtue in themselves and not CHEAT gullible artistes.
