Director of Drinker Sai Allegedly Attacked Amid Success Tour
The film Drinker Sai, starring Dharma and Aishwarya Sharma, has been creating buzz since its release on December 27. With the tagline “Brand of Bad Boys,” the movie is produced by Basavaraju Srinivas, Ismail Sheikh, and Basavaraju Laharidhar under the banners of Everest Cinemas and Smart Screen Entertainments. Directed by Kiran Tirumalashetty, the film is inspired by real events and has been receiving a positive response from both youth and family audiences, ensuring a successful theatrical run.
A grand success meet for the film was held in Hyderabad yesterday, celebrating its reception. However, controversy struck during the movie’s success tour today when reports surfaced about an alleged attack on director Kiran Tirumalashetty. The incident is said to have occurred at Guntur’s Shiva Theater, where fans of Manthena Satyanarayana reportedly confronted the director. The reason for the attack appears to stem from claims that certain scenes in the movie portrayed Manthena Satyanarayana in a negative light.
Adding to the intrigue, it is noted that the movie’s heroine is depicted as a follower of Manthena Satyanarayana in the film. Speculations are now rife about whether the incident was a genuine attack or merely a promotional stunt orchestrated by the film’s team. For now, the controversy has added to the film’s visibility, keeping audiences and critics talking.
