As we know 'DJ - Duvvada Jagannadham's second single 'Gudilo Badilo' was made controversial by a few people from Telangana Brahmin Samithi. In fact, the song received accolades from all corners for its superbly penned lyrics that have rich and beautiful Telugu vocabulary.

However, Harish Shankar, the director of the film, has come with a right clarification to the objections. He said he hailed from Vydic Brahmin community consisting Sri Vatsasa gothram.

"I, myself, being a Brahmin, how can I show my hero in a poor light in a controversial manner? I showed how a Brahmin to be a hero in the movie. Our lyricist Sahithi garu made no mistake in the song. The producer of the film, Dil Raju garu invested Rs.60-70 crores on the project. How can he make a film that degrades a community? We wish to convey a message that a Brahmin can do both Yagna and a war. I appeal to the people not to believe in the words of some haters who want to play spoilsport. My lyricist Sahithi garu and I will give more clarity on the issue in another occasion," says Harish Shankar.
