Kota Srinivasa Rao's indirect punch to Powerstar Pawan Kalyan

HYDERABAD: Veteran actor Kota Srinivasa Rao has been vocal about various issues in the past. He is someone who speaks his heart without any fear. Recently, Kota was felicitated at an event. He criticized Telugu star heroes and filmmakers while speaking at the ceremony.

Kota said that NTR is a legendary actor and there will be no other person like him unless he is born again. "In the olden days, the likes of NTR, ANR, Krishna and Sobhan Babu never talked about their remunerations. But nowadays, a few actors are openly saying that they charge 2 crores per day and 6 crores per day. This is not an ideal behaviour," said Kota.

Netizens are taking it as an indirect potshot at Pawan Kalyan, who openly spoke about his remuneration at a public event recently.

Meanwhile, Kota also criticized star heroes for bagging all brand endorsements from small-scale to large-scale. He questioned that if this is the trend, how can a small actor survive in the industry? The veteran actor has been getting mixed responses to his statements. While some people are commending him, others are criticizing him.
