Third day he said something&hellip; all five days he was not doing anything. And then he said, &lsquo;I&rsquo;ll do one thing, I&rsquo;ll go to Chennai and I will send you from there,&rdquo;
He continued&nbsp; &ldquo;And then he told me, &lsquo;Next time you get me to a hotel, make sure there is no TV. Because all this time I was watching TV.&rsquo; I wanted to hit him, you know. But then, when he finally came up with that Hai Rama song, obviously, I guess for great things one needs to have the patience to wait.

Keerthy Suresh reacting to it, said&nbsp; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not about who looks better. Chiranjeevi garu himself knows how big a fan I am of Vijay sir. I love Chiranjeevi garu, I love working with him, I respect him. When I spoke to him, we had these kinds of conversations. I didn&rsquo;t mean to come across as disrespectful. If I&rsquo;ve hurt Chiranjeevi garu&rsquo;s fans, I&rsquo;m sorry.&rdquo;

She continued "But what I&rsquo;m trying to say is, Chiranjeevi garu has spoken to me about who I like acting with or whose dance I like. I told him I like Vijay sir&rsquo;s dance and Suriya sir. He has taken it in a very sportive way. We know how big a megastar Chiranjeevi garu is; nobody is lesser than the other. Both are great actors. My mother (actor Menaka) has worked with Chiranjeevi garu, and he&rsquo;s one of the biggest stars of the country.&rdquo;

She added &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a megastar and a legend, we know. But Vijay sir is also a legend there. When they ask me, it was my choice to say what I felt. It&rsquo;s also because I&rsquo;ve seen more of Vijay sir&rsquo;s films. Chiranjeevi garu has only appreciated my honesty. It&rsquo;s a little sad that when you want to say something, you&rsquo;re not able to say what you want to.&rdquo;

The controversy erupted when Keerthy Suresh said Vijay is the best dancer compared to Chiranjeevi.
