Business viability is something that needs to be considered before the money is spent. I guess, that might be the reason for these decisions. Anyhow all that matters is ARR's music. I want it to come out into the market as soon as possible. These promotions and functions are not going to satisfy the music lovers. I feel, it's better if ARR uses his time to compose music rather than attending these star-studded functions. That way we can have more of ARR's music-magic to listen to.
