By Ians English
Director
YVS
Chowdary
has
rubbished
rumours
that
it
was
on
superstar
Pawan
Kalyan's
personal
request
that
he
roped
in
his
nephew
Sai
Dharam
Tej
for
forthcoming
Telugu
musical
drama
Rey.
Tej
is
yet
another
actor
from
the
Chiranjeevi
clan
to
enter
the
industry.
Others
include
Ram
Charan
Teja,
Allu
Arjun
and
Allu
Sirish.
Talking
to
IANS,
YVS
Chowdary
told,
"It
is
true
that
I
approached
Pawan
Kalyan
to
seek
his
permission
to
work
with
his
nephew.
He
told
me
that
he
need
not
ask
him
for
permission
and
that
I
should
approach
Sai
instead.
He
never
recommended
Sai
for
the
film."
The
Tollywood
filmmaker
added,
"He
didn't
even
vouch
for
Sai.
When
Sai
approached
him
(Pawan
Kalyan)
for
advice,
he
directed
him
to
some
acting
schools.
He
doesn't
like
to
give
advice
and
urged
Sai
not
to
use
their
family
name
as
a
medium
to
earn
recognition."
At
the
recent
audio
launch
of
Rey,
Pawan
Kalyan
has
also
denied
these
claims
stating
that
his
family
does
not
own
the
industry
and
anyone
is
welcome
to
be
part
of
it.
Rey
features
Saiyami
Kher,
Shraddha
Das
and
Shubra
Aiyappa
in
important
roles,
while
Brahmanandam,
Tanikella
Bharani,
Jayaprakash
Reddy
and
MS
Narayana
appear
in
its
supporting
cast.
