లాక్ డౌన్ లో తన లారీని ఆపినందుకు తల్వార్ తీసి పోలీసులపై తిరగబడ్డ వ్యక్తి

Like a spark igniting a wildfire, the IIFA awards ceremony, hosted by Rana Daggubati and Teja Sajja, has ignited a social media storm. While the duo’s comedic timing and Bollywood-style banter aimed to entertain, it inadvertently triggered a backlash from fans of other Tollywood stars.

The controversy primarily stems from their satirical take on the highly-anticipated Sankranti clash between “Hanuman” and “Guntur Kaaram.” Teja’s past comments about a potential festival winner, seemingly directed at Mahesh Babu, further fueled the fire. Additionally, Prabhas’ fans expressed discontent over a joke about the “Adipurush” controversy.

While such comedic punches are commonplace in Bollywood, the Tollywood audience seems less accustomed to this style of humor. This cultural divide has led to mixed reactions, with some praising the duo’s bold attempt and others criticizing their insensitive remarks.

Amidst the online uproar, Teja Sajja is currently filming for “Mirai,” while Rana Daggubati is gearing up for the second season of the blockbuster series “Rana Naidu.”
