Kiran Abbavaram’s 1500 Crore Joke: ‘I Never Meant to Mock’

Kiran Abbavaram says his 1500 crore remark was a joke and not aimed at mocking Obsession.

In the age of social media, a section of users often looks for opportunities to spread negativity around remarks made by film industry personalities. Many celebrities have found themselves at the center of controversies over comments that were originally intended as jokes or light-hearted observations. Actor Kiran Abbavaram is the latest to join that list.

Recently, Kiran Abbavaram remarked that many people had called him saying Obsession had the same storyline as his earlier film K-Ramp. Responding with humor, he said he only felt bad that K-Ramp didn’t go on to earn Rs 1,500 crore. While the comment was clearly made in a light-hearted manner, it quickly sparked a controversy on social media, with some users interpreting it as a dig at Obsession.

Kiran Abbavaram has finally responded to the social media controversy and clarified his stance. He said that he didn’t know why his remarks were taken in a negative way, as he made the comments purely in a humorous spirit. Kiran Abbavaram also stated that it is unfair to compare Obsession with K-Ramp as Obsession is a global-scale film with a much bigger canvas.

Kiran has made it clear that he had no intention of belittling Obsession or creating unnecessary comparisons. Now, Kiran’s response highlighted how casual comments are often taken out of context on social media, leading to avoidable controversies.
