Director Teja, once hailed as a game changer, has unfortunately lost his Midas touch long ago. Despite the emergence of new directors and notable advancements in the film industry, Teja’s approach has stagnated without any significant evolution. He repeatedly creates similar films, showing little interest in exploring new styles or narratives. Sadly, this trend persists with his latest release, ‘Ahimsa,’ which has been received as another disappointment.
To make matters worse, Teja’s behavior during the movie’s promotion has been met with criticism. He made controversial remarks about the late actor Uday Kiran, claiming to possess knowledge about the reasons behind Kiran’s untimely demise. Teja even went so far as to express his unwillingness to forgive Kiran, displaying a callous attitude towards a deceased individual. Such comments are highly inappropriate and reflect poorly on Teja’s character. It appears that Teja is using the platform of promoting ‘Ahimsa’ to vent personal bitterness, which is both disheartening and unprofessional.
Teja’s actions and statements have garnered substantial criticism. It is regrettable to witness such behavior from a director, as both audiences and industry professionals expect a higher level of professionalism and empathy, particularly when discussing sensitive subjects or individuals who are no longer with us.
