Nithin and Samantha Hopes on Trivikram movie

Manchu Lakshmi is one of the few vocally active actors in Tollywood and she doesn’t mince words when it comes to expressing her opinion fearlessly. She has done the same to a great extent now as she has announced that she isn’t in approval of the Allu Arjun characterization in Pushpa. This has now become a topic of discussion in itself.

In a latest interview, Manchu Lakshmi gets asked to pick between Prabhas’s Baahubali or Allu Arjun’s Pushpa and she has a bold statement to make here. She immediately picked Baahubali and went on to explain her choice.

Manchu Lakshmi stated that she doesn’t quite like the way the Pushpa character behaves in the film as it objectifies women and demeans them. She opined that the character is regressive towards women and that isn’t to be accepted in this modern era where women are striving and progressing along.

“I like Allu Arjun very much and I enjoyed watching Pushpa as a film but I didn’t like the way the Pushpa character objectified women and spoke it about them. This isn’t something that I usually associate a superstar with. This doesn’t set the right example for the rural population who watch this film. But again this is my personal opinion and it has nothing to do with the creative choices of the makers of the film.

They have full freedom to pick what they want.” Lakshmi commented on this matter. Lakshmi who is usually very vocal about her choice of words on certain topics is back at it again now. She has even explained the reasoning behind her big call.
