At the function, N.Ravi Shankar, to elevate NTR, belittled Rukmini Vasanth who is starring in NTR-Prashanth Neel's Dragon. said “Heroine Rukmini Vasanth. She is also the heroine of our film with Prashanth Neel and Jr NTR. I have seen the way she performs up close, and she is extraordinary.”
He continued “We searched for months for a heroine who would match NTR’s talent or at least come close. We could only find her in Rukmini. She is an extraordinary performer. Maybe not as much as Anna (brother), but we are hoping you will be able to give at least 80%,”
Rukmini Vasanth's fans reacted angrily to his comments
One person commented on X (formerly Twitter), “Miru chese over action lo 10% kuda undadu. (It won’t be 10% of your overaction.)” Another pointed out, “Ante enni days movies chesina heroins waste annamata. (So every heroine who acted with him so far is a waste.) One claimed film industry people need scripts to even talk on stage, writing, “Eellaki kuda edanna script lu ready chesi ivvandra stage ekke mundhu. (Someone needs to give them scripts before they get on stage)”
“Mee hero ni lepuko anthe gani ma rukku ni endhuku ra thakkuva chesi mataldam. (No need to insult Rukku to hype your hero)” Another commented, “Disrespect cheyyadam enduku? (Why do you need to disrespect?)” A fan also wrote, “No offense. Heroine ni takkuva cheydam endhuku? (No offence. Why do you need to insult the heroine?)”
