Producer SKN made provocative statements on Sunday regarding Telugu actresses.
While attending the event for the dubbed film Return of Dragon as a guest, he welcomed the film's actress, Kayadu Lohar, to Telugu cinema and expressed his preference for non-Telugu actresses as heroines.
His exact statement was: “Welcome to Telugu. We prefer heroines who do not speak Telugu over those who do.”
The precise meaning and rationale behind his statement remain unclear. However, social media has speculated that a possible fallout between him and actress Vaishnavi Chaitanya might be the reason.
SKN co-produced Baby, which featured Vaishnavi Chaitanya, a Telugu-speaking actress from Hyderabad.
He later took to social media to state that contemporary media and online platforms are more interested in controversy than entertainment.
Vaishnavi Chaitanya has remained silent on the matter.
