In the process of promoting his upcoming film, Ashoka Vanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam(AVAK), actor Vishwak Sen has gone over the top . Vishwak Sen and his team created a prank video on the streets of Hyderabad. One of the team members staged a suicide attempt. This prank backfired, and a complaint was filed against Vishwak Sen in Human Rights Commission. When the incident became public, the actor, during a promotional event for his film, apologised to TV9 for using the word "F" in an interaction with anchor Devi. The actor went on to say that, except from this, he had made no mistakes. In response to TV9 editor-in-chief Rajinikanth's question on the actor's manner of apologising, social activist Devi claimed that the actor took the matter lightly.
