Did Koratala Siva Take A Dig At His Previous Senior Actor?

In the Devara Fun & Fierce interview where Jr NTR and Koratala spoke at length and detail with Vishwak Sen and Siddhu Jonnalagadda, the 49-year-old filmmaker indirectly took a dig at those involved with his previous film Acharya. He said, "If everyone sticks to their job and doesn't put fingers or heads into other people's business, it is the most peaceful and dedication one can show. If that happens, things flow smoothly."

In many such previous incidents, megastar Chiranjeevi, who earned a massive flop along with his son, Ram Charan, in the form of Acharya, openly ridiculed the film's director for not listening to seniors. In the success meet of 'Waltair Veerayya,' Chiranjeevi mentioned that the results would be like this (indicating the massive worldwide collection of the movie) if directors listen and take inputs from senior actors who are in the industry for a long time." Fans are wondering if Koratala Siva tried to counter these remarks made against him.

On the other hand, Koratala Siva slipped into a period of severe struggle and deprivation due to the losses incurred by Acharya. He also had to deal with the distributors and settle financial scores.
