I’ve Not Targeted Koratala, Clarifies Chiru

Every time Megastar Chiranjeevi commented on the way directors should work such that the welfare of the cinema industry will be at its best, everyone thought that he is indirectly hitting out at his “Acharya” director Koratala Siva. However, while promoting Waltair Veerayya movie, Chiranjeevi stated that he has never targeted the director. 

“For the general well-being of the film industry, I’ve stated that directors should work everything on paper before going to sets. Rather than shooting 4-hours of cinema and trimming out an hour later, it’s better to work out a screenplay that will be under 3-hours such that lots of production costs will be saved. This is a general statement and not any intended remark at Koratala Siva. Once and for all, I’m giving clarity that I’ve not targeted Koratala or made any remarks against him” said Megastar Chiru, clearing the air officially. 

However, when Chiranjeevi made comments about the way some directors are working in the Telugu film industry when he held a press meet along with Aamir Khan to promote “Laal Singh Chaddha”, many thought that he is talking about his Acharya director Koratala Siva.
