Director Harish Shankar has established himself as a candid and outspoken figure in the Telugu film industry. Known for his high-energy mass entertainers, Shankar has also garnered attention for his frequent public clashes with media personalities and critics.
Recent events surrounding the teaser launch of his upcoming film, Mr. Bachchan, have once again highlighted his outspoken nature. During the event, Shankar engaged in a heated exchange with a journalist, accusing the media of lacking accountability. He specifically referenced the case of popular anchor Suma Kanakala, who was forced to apologize for a comment made at a film-related press meet, while questioning the lack of similar accountability for journalist Suresh Kondeti’s remarks about a heroine.
This isn’t the first instance of Shankar voicing his displeasure with the media. He has previously criticized film critics for negative reviews of his films, Eagle and Duvvada Jagannadham. Additionally, he has publicly addressed a journalist who revealed confidential business details of his film without permission.
Despite these controversies, Shankar remains a popular director, and his outspoken nature often garners significant media attention, which in turn benefits the promotion of his films. His upcoming release, Mr. Bachchan, starring Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse, is a remake of the Hindi film Raid and is generating considerable buzz.
Shankar’s ability to command attention, both through his films and his public persona, has undoubtedly contributed to the hype surrounding Mr. Bachchan.
