Divya Bharathi Slams Director Over ‘Chilaka’ Comment in Goat

November 19, 2025

“Goat,” an upcoming Telugu film starring Sudigali Sudheer, has recently been in the news due to controversy surrounding its original director, Narresh K Lee. Reports suggest that the director has been removed from the project, which recently resumed production without him.

The situation escalated after Narresh K Lee reportedly made a derogatory comment about the film’s heroine, Divya Bharathi, referring to her as “Chilaka” on social media platform X. Divya found the remark offensive and publicly addressed it.

Divya Bharathi, who has occasionally been linked to controversies in the past, clarified that she responded only because she was unnecessarily dragged into the spotlight. She stated, “Calling women ‘Chilaka’ or any other term isn’t a harmless joke; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted misogyny. This wasn’t a one-off incident; this director repeatedly disrespected women on set, betraying the very art he claims to create. What disappointed me most was seeing the hero remain silent, allowing this culture to continue. I choose workspaces where women aren’t targets for mockery, where every voice matters, and respect is non-negotiable. This is my standard as an artist and as a woman.”

Further defending her stance, Divya added, “For those claiming I ‘always have issues’ with teams, facts matter. I’ve worked repeatedly with the same actors and crews in Tamil cinema without conflicts. Only this particular director crossed the line with disrespectful comments. He chose to make it public, and I have every right to respond. If anyone wants to defend that behavior, that’s their choice. I’m not losing sleep over it.”

The actress has received overwhelming support from netizens, while the director has remained silent about the ongoing situation or the future of the project.

Lokesh Reaches Out to YCP-Era Investors for AP Growth

November 19, 2025

The NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has been actively attracting new investments to the state. However, the YCP has been attempting to dilute these efforts by claiming that many of the companies currently engaging with the state had already signed MoUs during their tenure. This, many say, is a clear attempt to take credit for the NDA government’s accomplishments.

Despite this, IT Minister Nara Lokesh has maintained a transparent stance. He has repeatedly asked YCP leaders to present the MoUs they claim to have signed and even stated that he would gladly acknowledge their efforts if they genuinely contributed to the state’s progress.

Taking a step further, Lokesh has now begun reaching out directly to the companies that reportedly signed agreements during the previous YCP government’s tenure. His approach is simple: ensure the collective development of Andhra Pradesh, irrespective of which government initiated the process.

Unlike the YCP regime, which was widely criticized for dismantling the investment ecosystem built by the TDP in 2014, Lokesh is taking the opposite route. He is attempting to revive whatever few investment opportunities emerged during YCP’s governance. Experts point out that the YCP had limited focus on youth employment and industrial growth and managed very few substantial MoUs. Lokesh, however, is leaving no opportunity unused, aiming to secure every possible investment for the state.

Addressing the matter, Lokesh stated:
“Government is a continuous institution. Parties may come and go, but the responsibility to support industry and honour commitments is permanent. We have already reached out to investors who signed MoUs with the previous government, and we are actively providing them with an enabling, trustworthy environment. Policy continuity is essential for investor confidence, and we are fully committed to ensuring it.”

This proactive and responsible approach from Lokesh is being widely praised—exactly the kind of leadership expected from an IT Minister dedicated to the state’s long-term growth.

Yash’s Mother Pushpa Files FIR Over Film Publicity Fraud

November 19, 2025

Kannada superstar Yash’s mother Pushpa, who is also a film producer, has lodged a police complaint leading to an FIR against five individuals, including a woman. The FIR, filed at the High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru, names PRO Harish Urs, Manu, Nitin, Mahesh Guru, and Swarnalatha as accused.

Pushpa, who produced the film “Kottalawadi,” alleged that the accused took ₹64 lakh for publicity work but failed to promote the film as promised. Instead, she claims they actively de-promoted the movie, causing damage to the film’s prospects. She further alleged instances of blackmail, threats, and intimidation by the accused.

Speaking to the media, Pushpa explained that Harish initially agreed to handle publicity for ₹23 lakh but continued to take additional payments during the shoot. When the film neared release, Harish allegedly warned the director not to question the accounts, threatening that he could sabotage the film’s publicity.

Pushpa said that once shooting was completed, they again requested proper accounts, but the accused continued their threats and demands. Concerned about the escalating situation, the team obtained a court injunction before filing a police complaint.

She also revealed that Swarnalatha and Mahesh Guru intimidated the director, claiming they had strong media connections and could create negative stories against the team. Pushpa expressed disappointment, stating, “We come from a celebrity family. We don’t want complications, so we chose to file a police complaint.”

According to Pushpa, the alleged blackmail began just one week before the film’s release, and even now, there is no clarity on how the money was utilised. She stated that two associates of Harish had spread false claims that Yash’s family had not made payments.

Pushpa added that negative propaganda was circulated during the film’s release, and she believes several others have also been cheated but are afraid to speak up.
