She further added, “I have my reasons, and I’m not interested in countering the movie team,”

Megoti said Varalaxmi plays one of the most significant roles of her career in the film and that the team extended every facility for her comfort during the shoot. Despite that, he said, she remained largely unresponsive during the promotional phase.

Actor Krishna Sai, who plays a key role in the film, echoed the director’s remarks at the same event, adding that Naveen Chandra, another lead, also did not participate in promotions despite having an agreement in place. “It is disappointing,” he said, while maintaining that the film itself was strong enough to succeed on its own.
