Krish clarifies on 'Khabardar' controversy

While concluding his speech at Nandamuri Bala Krishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni audio launch, National Award Winning director Krish said that the film is all set to release for Sankranthi…Khabardar!. This has become a hot topic in Film Nagar circles. Some assumed that Krish’s ‘Khabardar’ statement was targeted at megastar Chiranjeevi who is also coming for Sankranthi with his much-awaited 150th film Khaidi No 150.

“I request all dear friends who spread my words faultily. I uttered the word with pure anguish for not giving place for Telugu nativity in the history. I’m telling this heartfully. I used the word ‘Khabardar’ for sense of levity on Telugus who lived as Madrasis for ages.

My second film Vedam was with my closest friend Allu Arjun. My fourth film Kanche was with Varun Tej. Ram Charan is very close to me before I entered the industry. Chiranjeevi is a great person invited me to his residence, hugged me, analyzed each and every scene in Kanche and congratulated me, post release of the film. He is an inspiration to me. Please don’t look for flaws in my words. Thank you,” Krish said.
