About the Controversy

Talking About the Struggle he Faced Behind his Movie

"Having created 12 films, my understanding is that if there is no criticism from any quarter, people are not paying attention to the picture," the speaker continued. There will be others who wish to criticize a movie or moment the moment it gains popularity or traction. In RRR, (one of the protagonists) portrays himself as a Muslim and dons a skullcap. One right-wing politician (MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar) publicly attacked me and threatened to burn down the theatre if I didn't take out the photo. There were many left-wingers who accused me of promoting Hindu nationalism at the same time.
