The spat between ace director Srinu Vaitla and senior supporting actor Prakash Raj is only gaining more heat every day. Srinu Vaitla has strongly retaliated to Prakash Raj’s comments in the most recent press meet. Excerpts from the press meet -
* About the Pressmeet Poem – “He said it was dedicated to me that day. I felt he truly meant it. Then it is supposed to be mine. So used it!
* About using Pawan Kalyan, NTR – "I adore Pawan Kalyan a lot and Tarak is a very good friend of mine. Why should I be satirical about them? I and Mahesh have clarified several times that those dialogues in Aagadu are not targeted at anyone. So, there is nothing like using Pawan & NTR."
* “He should be ashamed for getting down to negatively publicizing Aagadu when the movie is on its run.”
Srinu Vaitla further added that he is not in a position to learn direction from Prakash Raj. He asserted that Mahesh has offered him the film based on his talent and track record. Vaitla also reminded the fact that he did not comment when Prakash Raj's Ulavacharu Biryani failed. However, he hinted that he would work with Prakash Raj if he needs him for a suitable script.
Keeping aside their individual versions, two eminent film personalities engaging in an open verbal brawl is certainly not a good gesture at all. Hope, we can see these two supremely talented, knowledgeable and professional individuals re-uniting shortly – fingers crossed!
