The press meet conducted by the Producers Guild yesterday did not sit well with exhibitors. Naga Vamsi criticized Asian Suniel, stating that it feels funny when someone operating multiplexes talks about the welfare of single screens.
Responding to Naga Vamsi’s comments, Asian Suniel reacted strongly. He said, “Kya naam hai uss producer ka? Wo chashma pehenke, duplicate baal rakhta tha? (Who is that producer who wears glasses and has a duplicate wig). He claimed that I will build multiplexes wherever I find space. I built 33 single screens and am planning to build 5 more screens.”
The remarks made by Asian Suniel are going viral on social media, with netizens opining that such personal comments should not have been made when the issue is much bigger and not about individuals. It looks like the tussle could escalate further than expected.
