Telugu
actor
Vijay
Rangaraju
had
a
while
ago
made
some
distasteful
comments
about
Kannada
thespian
Dr
Vishnuvardhan.
This
did
not
go
down
well
with
the
late
superstar’s
fans,
colleagues
and
industry
members.
They
all
were
seen
demanding
an
apology
from
the
actor.
And
now,
Vijay
Rangaraju
seems
to
have
has
realised
his
mistake
as
he
was
seen
emotionally
apologising
to
the
irked
fans
and
actors
over
his
recent
insensitive
remarks
in
a
three-minute-long
video
message.
The
actor
blamed
his
financial
and
professional
struggles
and
frustration
for
the
rant.
Vijay
got
emotional
and
was
in
tears
as
he
said,
"To
the
people
of
Karnataka
and
children
of
Karnataka,
I
have
made
a
very
huge
mistake
and
I
am
getting
punished
for
that.
Due
to
the
pandemic,
I'm
wearing
a
mask
and
it's
not
like
I
am
not
willing
to
show
you
my
face.
I
have
sinned,"
He
went
on
to
add,
"Please
forgive
me
Vishnu
Vardhan
fans
and
I
also
apologise
to
the
late
actor's
wife
Bharathi
Vishnuvardhan
because
of
my
words.
I
am
really
really
sorry
and
my
sincere
apologies
to
Sudeep
sir,
Puneeth
Rajkumar
and
Upendra
sir." The
actor
concluded
by
falling
on
his
feet
and
crying.
For
the
unversed,
Vijay
Rangaraju
had
made
some
comments
about
late
Kannada
matinee
idol
Dr
Vishnuvardhan,
which
were
nasty
and
personal
in
an
interview
of
his
in
Telugu.
His
unsavoury
remarks
drew
the
ire
of
several
members
from
Sandalwood,
including
Dr
Vishnuvardhan's
son-in-law
Aniruddha
Jatkar
and
star
actors
Kichcha
Sudeep
and
Puneeth
Rajkumar.
They
condemned
the
remarks
and
had
demanded
an
apology
from
the
Telugu
actor.
