Trinadha Rao Nakkina's 'Suggestive' Comments On Prabhas' Actress Anshu; Director Issues Public Apology Video

Update:

Director Apologizes To All

After the outburst, filmmaker Trinadha Rao Nakkina issued a public apology in video saying that it was just involuntary and spontanious attempt to generate fun during the event and is not a conscious remark. Sundeep Kishan, Mazaka movie hero shared the video and wrote, Yesterday was an unfortunate slip of the tongue by Dir #NakkinaTrinadhRao

It's a wrong example to set & we should have been cautious to avoid it

Trinadh garu & Team #Mazaka apologise for the poor choice of words to Anshu garu & to all Women out there,
We are because of you ♥️

Anshu Gets Embarrassed During Mazaka Teaser Launch Event: Actress Anshu, known for her only two Telugu films- 'Manmadhudu' with Nagarjuna and 'Raghavendra' with Prabhas is making a comeback to the Telugu film industry after more than two decades with a movie titled 'Mazaka.' Written and directed by Nakkina Trinadha Rao, the movie's teaser release event sparked controversy as the filmmaker publicly made filthy comments about her.

Trinadha Rao's distasteful comments on Anshu have become viral immediately receiving widespread flak online. Netizens reacted to his lewd remarks and reprimanded him virtually. Speaking about Anshu on the stage, the Rs 100 Crore film 'Dhamaka' director said, "Entira ammay laddu la undi anukonevadini. Oka range lo undedi aya babu meeku teliyakapote petti chudandi next level ee." (This girl is not ordinary at all she is next level if you guys don't know, watch her films)

He also went on to continue, "When I saw her I was surprised. I am thrilled about how she looked the same but she lost so much weight and became thinner. For Telugu, people want big sizes. I told her the same and asked her to improve. She will also improve further." All this while, another actress, Ritu Verma, was sitting beside Anshu, who seemingly had no clue or full understanding of what the director was talking.

Netizens Call It 'Humiliating'

Netizens, who watched the event and the clip of the incident reacted calling it 'disgusting' and 'humiliating.' They also noticed how the movie Mazaka's lead actor Sundeep Kishan had felt uncomfortable about it. Check out a few tweets below.
