He stressed that the primary purpose of the film industry is to create films, and it aims to avoid involvement in sensitive and ongoing political issues.
While acknowledging personal inclinations toward political parties, Suresh Babu maintained that the film industry, as a whole, maintains a non-political stance. He reiterated that individual preferences don’t reflect the industry’s stance, which remains apolitical.
Regarding Chandrababu Naidu’s arrest, Suresh Babu deemed it a sensitive topic and reaffirmed the industry’s commitment to staying apolitical on all matters.
