Telugu producer SKN recently created controversy with his comments about Telugu-speaking heroines at the Return of the Dragon pre-release event.
He said, “I learned what happens if we encourage Telugu-speaking girls as heroines,” which led to mixed reactions online.
To clear the air, SKN released a video explaining his statement. He said he has always supported Telugu girls in the film industry and has already introduced eight talents.
He also plans to bring in 25 more across different film crafts through upcoming projects.
Clarifying that his comment was just a joke, SKN urged people not to take it the wrong way or spread misleading headlines. It remains to be seen how the internet reacts to his explanation.
‘25 మంది తెలుగు అమ్మాయిలని వెరియస్ క్రాఫ్ట్స్ లో నా పరంగా తెలుగు సినిమాకి పరిచయం చేయాలి అనేది నా టార్గెట్’
Please don’t consider my fun banter as a STATEMENT.”
