Vishwak Sen’s latest youthful entertainer, Laila, has been embroiled in controversy ever since senior comedian Prudhvi made his now-infamous “11 Sheep” comment at the film’s pre-release event. This remark sparked significant backlash on social media, with many calling for a boycott. Despite the heated debate, Laila is set for a worldwide theatrical release today as a Valentine’s Day special.
In a heartfelt attempt to clear the air, Vishwak Sen took to X just hours before the film’s premiere, releasing a special video message. Addressing the controversy, he stated, “There has been a lot of misunderstanding, and I have already apologized on my team’s behalf. I’m one among you, and I have come this far without any background, purely because of your support. If I succeed, you all succeed too. Please encourage me so I can continue portraying more interesting characters.”
Vishwak further emphasized that Laila was made purely to entertain and bring laughter to audiences. Highlighting the stakes involved, he mentioned that several newcomers’ careers are tied to the film’s success. He earnestly urged moviegoers to support Laila and give it a fair chance.
With emotions running high and debates still ongoing, all eyes are now on Laila’s box office performance. Stay tuned to cinema manishi for the film’s review and further updates.
