As the box opens, a little LCD screen comes alive with song and a text announces “Bramhani Weds Rajeev Reddy”. “Atithi Devo bhava (guest is like God),” Mr Reddy sings – or lip syncs – along with his wife and son. In a setting that puts Bollywood to shame, the bride and groom are introduced and shown eyeing each other coyly. Everyone sings. The bride swirls her lehenga and runs in slow-motion. The groom is introduced with white stallions in the backdrop.
The video plays in embedded LCD screen in invitation box: It is heard that Gali is spending a fortune to make the wedding ceremony an opulent affair. The mining minister is sending rich ‘Boxed Invitations’ to the prominent personalities in various fields. This unique and elegant invitation features a video snippet. The box comes with a small LCD screen and the auto play video is about one minute featuring Gali and his family along with the groom-to-be Rajeev Reddy in a special song. There is also buzz that some of the top league actors belonging to Bollywood are going to perform during the event. It looks like Gali Janardhan Reddy is splurging money to make the event a Big Fat Wedding Ceremony.
The one-minute video ends with a close-up of the family as the date and venue are announced. Reddy, 49, once among the most powerful men in Karnataka, spent three years in jail in connection with illegal mining. He was released last year on bail.
