Actor Vishwak Sen and producer Sahu Garapati held a press meet to address the controversy surrounding a recent pre-release event for their film "Laila." Actor Pruthviraj made comments at the event that have sparked outrage and calls for a boycott of the film.
Vishwak Sen made a heartfelt plea to the public, saying, "Don't punish our film 'Laila' for someone else's mistake. This is our kind request. I have no connection to that person; he merely acted in the film. If an apology will cool things down, I apologize. Please don't kill the film. Please support 'Laila.'"
He explained that the promotional activities for the film had been positive until the controversial comments were made. Vishwak Sen expressed his frustration at being targeted for something beyond his control and emphasized the hard work and dedication that went into making the film.
Unforeseen Controversy
Vishwak Sen and Sahu Garapati were not present when the controversial comments were made, as they had stepped out to welcome Chiranjeevi, the chief guest of the event. They were unaware of the comments until they saw the social media backlash later that night.
Producer Sahu Garapati emphasized that a film is a collaborative effort involving thousands of people and that boycotting the film would harm everyone involved. He urged the public to view the film separately from the controversy and support the team's hard work.
The "Laila" team is hopeful that the public will understand their situation and continue to support the film, which is scheduled to release on February 14th.
