Deverakonda Calls It ‘Unnecessary / Woke Take’

Anand Deverakonda’s upcoming film ‘Baby’ is set to release next week, and the team is feeling anxious. It is a different film that caters to a specific audience, and they are already in love with the audio.

The trailer has been released and has received positive reactions. However, there has been criticism regarding the actress of the film, as she was made to appear in a darker skin tone despite being fair-skinned in reality.

A netizen commented, “Even ‘Fair and Lovely’ changed its name to ‘Glow and Lovely’ after the outrage, but we still see movies like #BabyTheMovie featuring brown face and white face in 2023. This is what happens when you turn a YouTube short into a feature film.”

Anand Deverakonda responded, “It’s a hot take, but mostly unnecessary and woke. Maybe you should watch the movie first and then comment instead of jumping to conclusions.”

We will find out if this skin color issue holds any significance once the film is released.
