Nandini Reddy responds to Tirupati controversy. During the promotions of Anni Manchi Sakunamule, director Nandini Reddy spoke to scribes and responded to the Tirupati controversy. She said she never fought with the reporters in Tirupati.
Throwing light on what happened in Tirupati, Nandini Reddy said 'On that day we went to Tirupati as a part of film promotions. After reaching Tirupati at 3 PM, we had our lunch and participated in the press meet. But it came out that the scribes were informed that the press meeting was at 3 PM. When we went after one and a half hours, it seems they got irritated. When Santosh Sobhan was about to speak, a reporter said ' We don't know who you are. Introduce yourself and then speak"
Nandini Reddy continued ' I got vexed up and took the mike and told them about our Vyjayanthi Movies banners and the films made by them about the star cast and about me and later handed over the mike to Santosh Sobhan and asked him to introduce himself to be on the safe side" It seems the reporter did not like it and he said ' You needn't tell so manytimes'. I told him ' Sir you decide what we have to speak and how many times we should speak. So a request from my side"
Nandini Reddy added ' Before coming to the press meet, please do some research about the film. the star cast and other details and then you will get time to pose good questions and even we get time to give good answers". However many thought that I gave a counter to him.
