During the Telugu pre-release event of Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon, SKN said he likes supporting only non-Telugu-speaking heroines. He also said, “I learned what happens if we encourage Telugu-speaking girls to become heroines. So, I decided to support only non-Telugu-speaking heroines.”
SKN was heavily criticized for his comments. Later, the producer stated that his lighthearted comment was misunderstood, leading to unnecessary headlines with incorrect meanings. Everyone wondered if SKN’s remarks were aimed at Vaishnavi Chaitanya, with whom he produced the blockbuster Baby. Vaishnavi Chaitanya responded to SKN’s controversial statement at Jack’s song launch event today.
The actress said, “I have always had a great experience working with SKN Garu. I don’t know whom he referred to, but later, he issued a video that clarified things. I was supposed to act in a film under his production with Anand Devarakonda as the lead. Unfortunately, that project didn’t materialize. I am looking forward to doing a film with SKN Garu.”
