Chiranjeevi’s younger brother Naga Babu is someone who never minces his words if anyone targets his family members. The actor has blasted at Ram Gopal Varma, Yandmuri Veerendranatha and several others. Now, he delivered a firm rebuttal to the critical comments made by producer and director Tammareddy Bharadwaj regarding the RRR Oscar campaign. While not explicitly mentioning Tammareddy’s name, Naga Babu made a pointed remark, questioning who had actually spent Rs. 80 crores on the Oscar campaign.
Although Naga Babu did not directly refer to Tammareddy Bharadwaj’s statements, it’s speculated that his remarks were a direct reaction to Tammareddy’s accusations. As a result, Naga Babu’s comments have gained widespread attention on social media, with netizens divided into two camps.
The controversy erupted when the senior filmmaker Tammareddy Bharadwaj made contentious allegations against the RRR film, claiming that the movie’s production unit had spent a staggering Rs. 80 crores on its Oscar campaign, which he deemed to be an unnecessary waste of money. He also said that he would have easily made 10 meaningful movies if he was offered the amount that was spent for the Oscars campaign.
