As an ardent fan, I found myself deeply engrossed in the electrifying teaser launch event for the imminent film Mazaka. However, my excitement was swiftly dampened when Telugu director Trinadha Rao Nakkina took center stage and made controversial remarks about the film’s actress, Anshu Ambani. His comments, which referred to her notable physical transformation, were met with widespread criticism, being labeled as body-shaming. This instantaneous outcry from audiences was a stark reminder of the unacceptable nature of such behavior in our society today.

In the midst of all the debate, the director chose to use social media as a platform to make things clear. He stated that his comments were never meant to offend or belittle, but rather they were said playfully with the intention of entertaining the viewers.

Check out his video here:

The director acknowledged, “I discovered that some women found my comments during the Mazaka teaser premiere awkward. I find this regrettable because they weren’t intended. I made those jokes with the intention of amusing everyone. But if my words caused any distress, then it was a blunder on my part.

Trinadha offered a sincere apology to everyone impacted by his statements, and he plans to speak with Anshu Ambani privately to express his regret, acknowledging that he didn’t anticipate the situation would blow up as much as it did.

He expressed a sincere apology, acknowledging that what he said was inappropriate. He also plans to offer a personal apology to Anshu. It didn’t occur to him that it would escalate into such a major concern.

As a die-hard admirer, let me shed some light on an intriguing topic. At a recent gathering, the filmmaker made a statement about Anshu Ambani’s physique, pointing out that she had quite a different appearance in the past. Interestingly, he mentioned that he once advised her to gain more weight since the Telugu film industry favors actresses with a more substantial build.
