Kota Srinivasa Rao is one of those celebrated character actors of Telugu Cinema and an undisputed pride as well. Off the screen, he was always known for strong opinions about the happenings in the industry and he also expressed his disappointment of roping in non-Telugu speaking actors more these days.
Moreover, the actor also had a rift with veteran director Krishna Vamsi and he recently opened up about the issue in an interview. Apparently, Krishna Vamsi made a sweeping statement in the past that there are no talented actors in Telugu film industry which angered Kota. The actor challenged Krishna Vamsi saying that there is no role which he cannot do. Kota also acted in Krishna Vamsi’s powerful film Rakhi after that incident but these two had creative differences ever since.
Though it is common to have creative differences, it is indeed sad to see the row between two talented individuals in this manner!
