He stated, “Telugu people smart smart, Our heroine Rashmika so smart, Pushpa created sensation, Ashwamedha yaagam conducted here, Malla Reddy university. Your film Animal will do 500 crores.”
Soon after, Malla Reddy’s bold speech went viral and it somehow sparked a controversy. While a section of netizens slammed the leader for his words, some others praised Ranbir Kapoor for staying calm. He was seen smiling and clapping at the statements passed by Malla. One user wrote, “Hindi audience loves South actors and their movies without any discrimination. But here, the Telugu leader mocked the Bollywood and Hindi audience. We should show the true aukat of these people. Everyone should watch “#Dunki” instead of “#Salaar”. Let’s support our industry! #Bollywood pride of India.”
