KS Ravikumar mocks Nandamuri Balakrishna

At a recent press event for Guardian, KS Ravikumar made some questionable remarks towards Nandamuri Balakrishna. Particularly detailing his intolerance towards perceived mockery, the director recalled how he would haul up anyone who he assumed was laughing at him. He also relayed an incident involving the veteran actor’s use of a wig, following the same up with tagging the actor’s nature as perennially “suspicious”.

He said, “I recently did a film with Balakrishna. He will lose his cool if anybody smirks at him…He (Balakrishna) would keep pulling up someone for laughing at him. He asked Saravanan to turn the fan towards him. When my assistant turned the fan, the air slightly disturbed his wig, and he laughed at it. I was worried that he might beat up Saravanan. I requested him to forgive him, saying he was my assistant. But, he said that he was from an ‘opposite gang.’ He is always a bit suspicious of everyone.”
