Harish Shankar is one of the most talented directors in Tollywood, known for his unique style of filmmaking, whether it’s a straight film or a remake. He has always showcased his distinctive mark through his direction. However, Harish has been entangled in several controversies over the years. Recently, his latest film, Mr. Bachchan, also attracted criticism, prompting him to clarify certain aspects regarding the movie.
Now, his latest comments have sparked strong reactions from Telugu audiences. Harish Shankar stated that “we should watch our own films,” which has drawn criticism from netizens. Many argue that if films that have already been watched in other languages are remade, audiences may not be interested in watching them again.
Netizens have countered Harish Shankar’s statement, saying that if filmmakers are taking inspiration from movies in other languages and remaking them in Telugu, it contradicts his own stance. Similar criticism was previously directed at Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh. However, the director responded to such remarks with a glimpse of the film, silencing many critics.
With the ongoing debates surrounding his statements and filmmaking choices, it remains to be seen where this controversy will lead.
