Tollywood producer Sreenivasa Kumar, popularly known as SKN, has scored a blockbuster hit with Baby. Known for his witty remarks and engaging speeches at events, he has now found himself in the controversy due to his latest comments on Telugu heroines at the Dragon pre-release event. Here’s what happened.
While welcoming actress Kayadu Lohar, who plays a crucial role in the upcoming film “Dragon,” he stated, “We welcome non-Telugu-speaking heroines over Telugu speaking heroines.” He further added, “I have learned what happens if we encourage Telugu speaking heroines. So, I now decided to encourage non-Telugu-speaking heroines.”
Although SKN made the statement with a smile, many speculate that he was referring to actress Vaishnavi Chaitanya, who starred in his film Baby, alongside Anand Deverakonda. His comments have sparked controversy, with many netizens hinting at them as a subtle dig at Vaishnavi. The reason behind his shocking comments will have to be clarified by him. As discussion continues, many await SKN’s clarification regarding his remarks.
