Shocking comments by producer Bandla Ganesh on Mahesh Babu rile fans

Actor-producer Bandla Ganesh attended the ‘Chor Bazaar’ pre-release event on Wednesday night to support Akash Puri but ended up making shocking remarks that have offended Mahesh Babu’s fans.

Bandla Ganesh mentioned that he is proud of Akash Puri, a promising actor and the son of Puri Jagannadh, whom he predicted would one day become a celebrity. The producer of the super hit movie ‘Gabbar Singh’ said, “He was born to be a star,” as he referred to Akash Puri.

However, in his overzealous attempt to support the ‘Romantic’ hero Akash Puri, Bandla wound up alienating Mahesh Babu’s followers.

“I anticipated that the performers who rose to fame thanks to Puri Jagannadh would support Akash Puri’s film. But they seem to be busy, realizing that they would be in danger if Akash becomes famous,” Ganesh pointed, as he remarked at Mahesh Babu whose career was boosted after Puri Jagannadh’s directorial ‘Pokiri’.

Well, Mahesh Babu’s supporters were definitely offended by these comments and rushed to social media to criticize Bandla Ganesh.

“Why on earth did you even mention an actor in the most absurd way? Why don’t you keep to yourself?” a user on the Internet written about Bandla Ganesh.

“Mahesh is an icon. Unlike you, who go around criticizing other performers and celebrities, he is busy,” said one of Mahesh’s admirers.

Although it is clear that Bandla Ganesh purposefully used harsh language at the event to attract attention, industry insiders don’t seem to be as interested in the producer’s subsequent controversies anymore.

Benedict Cumberbatch opens up on playing different versions of Doctor Strange

English star Benedict Cumberbatch has talked about playing various versions of his beloved character Doctor Strange in ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’. He called it odd as stand-ins or stunt doubles were used as a “sort of markers”.

While playing different versions of Doctor Strange was exciting for Cumberbatch, he also admitted that it was challenging.

“I literally have one scene with another version of myself, a very crucial scene near the end, where we meet Sinister Strange, as we nicknamed him. It’s complicated. It’s hard. It’s a very odd day at the office.

“You’re working with somebody else’s stand-in or a stunt double. And you’re having to remember your performance even though you’re using them as a sort of marker for where they are, where you were. It’s very odd. But it’s something through the post and everything else that we’ve managed to finesse and get right. And it’s fun,” said Cumberbatch.

Directed by Sam Raimi, the film is a sequel to 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange’, which introduced Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange aka Doctor Strange. In the film, Doctor Strange’s new adventure begins when Cumberbatch meets America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a unique teenager who can open doorways from one universe to the other.

Along with Benedict Cumberbatch and Xochitl Gomez, ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ features an ensemble cast including Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Sheila Atim, Adam Hugill with Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams.

‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ is airing on Disney+ Hotstar in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
