Rana Daggubati has disappointed the fans of Telugu star Mahesh Babu. Recently, a video from IIFA Utsavam 2024 has been circulating on the internet.
“He's still the same, away from controversies, very soft-spoken, the heartthrob of millions, the lover boy, the action star, the one and only…” before taking a pause.
Rana Daggubati adds that Mahesh Babu and Teja Sajja have a similar professional journey because both were child actors. “He's (Mahesh Babu) a superstar; you're (Teja Sajja) a superhero.
Both of you came on Sankranthi,” says the Baahubali actor, once again hinting at their film face-off. Teja interrupts his co-host and asks Rana not to mention the “Sankranthi matter”.
Rana Daggubati's comment did not sit well with Mahesh Babu's legion of fans who expressed their discontent on the micro-blogging platform.
Penning a strict note to Teja Sajja, a user wrote, “Need apology to superstar, Mahesh Babu and his fans. You and Rana (said) degrading comments about the 2024 Sankranthi films… Please try to understand this situation.”
Slamming Rana Daggubati another noted, “You had one success man… and you're making fun of a man who's been working for 25 years.
