SM Talk: Wrong Portrayal Of NBK In NTR’s BIL Film

GA2 Pictures tasted success after a long time with a small film, AAY. The movie stars NTR’s BIL Narne Nithin in the lead role. The movie arrived on Netflix last week and has triggered an unexpected controversy.

The antagonist who is the heroine’s father in the film is shown as a Caste Fanatic in the movie. Hero’s father played by Vinod Kumar is a positive character.

There is a scene where the hero’s father smashes the heroine’s father.

Until this point, there is nothing objectionable. But the rivalry is projected in the backdrop of a theater and the heroine’s father is shown as Balakrishna’s fan while the hero’s father is a Chiranjeevi fan.

The scene has triggered a huge discussion on social media. People are raising questions about the intentions of the makers to project Balakrishna fan as a caste fanatic and a Chiranjeevi fan triumphing over him.

Balakrishna fans are upset with the director and producer Bunny Vas for showing their actor in poor light.

They are also upset with Narne Nithin for allowing such a scene in his film. Narne Nithin is Junior NTR’s BIL and he should not be allowing the negative portrayal of a family member, they believe.

The issue is every where on social media after the film’s OTT release.

Luckily, the issue did not blow up when the movie is in theaters. Or else, Narne Nithin and the makers would have been in trouble.
