Sudeep Reacts To Chetan Kumar’s Jibe About Actors Who Endorse Pan Masala & Rummy Games
The ongoing Sandalwood drug abuse controversy has been hogging the news headlines for the past few days. It’s being alleged that a number of folks from Kannada film industry have been involved and according to director Indrajit Lankesh, these actors and technicians were in touch with dealers. The filmmaker had already given CCB police all the details and evidence he had with him with regards to the high-profile case.
In
the
meantime,
actor
and
activist
Chetan
Kumar
had
taken
to
his
social
media
account
to
share
his
views
on
the
explosive
case.
The
actor
shaded
a
few
of
his
fellow
artists
for
advertising
tobacco-based
products
and
other
online
games
like
rummy
for
money.
Without taking any actors’ name, Chetan had tweeted, “While the current focus is on exposing film personnel/actors who use #drugs privately… Isn't it hypocritical to not point fingers at film 'stars' who for money OPENLY advertise for alcohol (as soda), gutka/pan masala, gambling (rummy), etc? Aren't they 'ambassadors' of social evils?” (sic). Check out the tweet below:

Isnt it hypocritical to not point fingers at film 'stars' who for money OPENLY advertise for alcohol (as soda), gutka/pan masala, gambling (rummy), etc? Arent they 'ambassadors' of social evils?
And now, Kiccha Sudeep who was talking to the media during his visit to the Siddaganga Mutt was quizzed about Chetan Kumar’s jibe towards actors who endorse pan masala and rummy games. The actor was quoted by Vijay Karnataka as saying, “He is unable to directly state names and is struggling to name me directly. Those who speak out should always speak directly. We have also done a lot of service. They should give attention to that and listen carefully. A small little sound may come out of it.”
