Entertainment Report :
The first poster of the movie ‘Rajkumar’ was unveiled in late March featuring only Shakib Khan prominently.
While the names of the hero, director (Himel Ashraf), and producer (Arshad Adnan) were highlighted in bold letters, the heroine’s picture or name was notably absent.
Viewers speculated that the hero and heroine might appear together in the next poster, but that didn’t materialise either. Subsequently, most promotional materials released on social media for the campaign needed the name of the heroine, Courtney Coffey.
The American actress expressed her regret and frustration about this situation, feeling that she had been discriminated against.
Despite ‘Rajkumar’ being released in Courtney Coffey’s home country, the United States, since April 19, posters featuring only Shakib’s picture and name have been displayed across various theatres and roadside locations, further exacerbating her sense of exclusion.
On her social media platform, actress Courtney Coffey expressed her shock. She said, “Has anyone in the United States seen my name on the ‘Rajkumar’ movie posters in theatres? So far, I have not seen my name on any of the posters. If anyone comes across a poster, please send it to me. I want to proudly stand next to it and take a picture in my own country.”
However, the actress posted a reel video on April 21, demonstrating improved lip-syncing to the song.
In response to this, Coffey commented, “I shared the video to demonstrate my capability. However, the production team opted not to use my lip-syncing skills, despite my qualifications!”
