Popular writer-producer
“These comparisons are baseless. You cannot judge an entire character or story based on a single poster. It’s unfair to undermine the creativity of a director of Rajamouli’s calibre by drawing comparisons with crippled villains. We have seen films with smugglers, corrupt politicians and gangsters. Does it mean that we should not use those characters again? How the director develops the character as refreshingly as possible is key.”

“It’s disheartening to see how a few vested interests have turned social media into a toxic space. If someone cannot reach Rajamouli’s level, they try to pull him down to theirs; that’s a disgusting mindset.”
