Electronic Media Boycotts Siddharth
Has AP Electronic Media boycotted Siddharth? Looks like! Going by the scenario, the AP electronic media has decided to boycott hero Siddharth. They have packed up when Siddharth was about to speak at a press conference at cinemax, Hyderabad a little while ago. So what and where actually things went wrong? So let's get into the details.
Apparently, Siddharth has uttered something against a leading private news channel. It seems that Siddharth has commented something nasty on that news channel and this has caught him up into trouble. And when Siddharth started to speak at the 180 press conference in Hyderabad, short while back, the media backed away and expressed concern over Siddharth's comments on the fourth estate.
On June 23, Siddharth tweeted, “3rd grade 'N'ews channels will sell their families to make up an hour of tv. Clarifying their garbage & lies is not worth our time. Ignore!”
Wonder how Siddharth reacts to this media boycott!

Journalists lodge a complaint on Siddharth
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 28, 2011]
Actor Siddharth was in for a major surprise when he attended a press conference of his movie '180' in Hyderabad on Tuesday. After his co-star Priya Anand spoke to the media about the film, Siddharth got ready to address the press. TV channels switched off the lights and pulled the microphones off Siddharth's table.
Film Journalists in Andhra Pradesh are up in arms against Siddharth for making derogatory remarks against their 'families'. Before the release of '180', local news channels N tv and ABN Andhra Jyothy telecasted programmes on how there is poor buzz about '180' and almost declared that the movie would be a flop.
Angry with the news channels, Siddharth tweeted that "these journalists will even sell off their families for such reports"
This tweet of Siddharth triggered off a controversy and AP Film Journalists' Association has demanded an unconditional apology from the actor. Film News Casters Association Of Electronic Media has dashed off a letter to Movie Artistes' Association, AP Film Chamber of Commerce and even South Indian Film Chamber of commerce demanding action against Siddharth.
Siddharth's track record of being rude to media dates back to a few more press conferences. At a media conference recently, when press asked him why he does only cholcate boy roles,he asked them if they wanted him to play female lead roles.
He had earlier also rubbished Telugu film media as journalists who live on stars and their tweets.
Our source from Telugu film Journalists' association claims that until Siddharth tenders an apology, media will continue to boycott all his films and won't carry news related to his movies anymore.

FNAEM bans Actor Siddharth
An angry tweet from Siddharth who got irked with a TV program has put the actor in trouble. Recently a well known news channel has aired a program on 180 movie stating that the movie isn’t up to the mark. This program was aired prior to the release of 180 and Siddharth has every reason for his outburst.
Siddharth tweeted on his Twitter page “3rd grade 'N'ews channels will sell their families to make up an hour of tv. Clarifying their garbage & lies is not worth our time. Ignore!” that didn’t go down well with Film Newscasters Association of Electronic Media (FNAEM).
On Tuesday, electronic media persons walked away when Sidharth is about to talk in 180 press meet. FNAEM also lodged a complaint with MAA to take action against Siddharth who always makes derogatory remarks against media and journalists.
