Asif
Ali,
the
actor
who
is
well-known
for
his
outspoken
nature,
criticized
Malayalam
news
channels,
in
a
recent
interview.
Asif
alleges
that
the
tendency
of
the
news
channels,
to
fabricate
the
initial
reports
of
the
movie,
is
the
actual
reason
behind
failures
of
the
recently
released
projects,
including
Hi
I'm
Tony.
The
actor
expressed
his
deep
displeasure
upon
the
Malayalam
news
channels,
for
fabricating
the
issues
regarding
Hi
I'm
tony
and
alleged
that
the
media
is
completely
responsible
for
the
failure
of
the
movie.
Earlier,
two
girls
were
attacked
by
a
group
of
youngsters
who
claimed
to
be
Asif
Ali's
fans,
for
revealing
the
suspense
factor
and
posting
negative
reviews
about
Hi
I'm
Tony
in
Facebook.
Most
of
the
news
channels
reported
the
story,
and
alleged
that
Asif
Ali
is
the
master
mind
behind
the
attack.
The
reports
affected
the
performance
of
the
movie
at
box
office
negatively.
Hi
I'm
Tony
earned
highly
negative
reviews
from
both
audience
and
critics;
and
finally
emerged
as
a
flop.
Asif
states
that
the
audience
are
highly
influenced
by
the
initial
reports
published
by
the
media.
He
also
criticized
the
tendency
of
the
film
makers
to
create
misleading
teasers
and
trailers,
which
gives
a
completely
different
picture
for
the
audience,
about
the
movie
and
it's
theme.
