Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu said Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan’s latest movie Bro was a disaster.
Addressing a press conference at YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) office at Tadepalli near here on Tuesday, Mr. Rambabu alleged that the filmmakers were raking up controversies as the film has failed to attract audiences.
“Actors-turned-politicians N.T. Rama Rao or Chiranjeevi hardly acted in movies when they were active in politics. But, Mr. Pawan Kalyan wants both movies and politics, and is doing injustice to both fields,” Mr. Rambabu said.
“As Mr. Pawan Kalyan is unable to face me directly in politics, he has created a character named Shyambabu to lampoon me. I don’t mind even if they name the character ‘Rambabu’ after me. The filmmakers should realise that a movie does not become successful merely by targeting someone,” Mr. Rambabu said.
The Minister’s remarks come in the wake of a video clip that is doing the rounds on social media showing comedian Prudhviraj, who acted in Bro, dancing on a road dressed in a manner resembling the Minister.
