Ace director Rajamouli's harsh criticisms on All India legendary glamorous actress Sridevi in a TV channel's open heart program shocked many. Subsequently, Sridevi expressed her distress with Rajamouli's words on remuneration issues and other demands in Sakshi newspaper. She claimed the director had told lies in his interview. She further went on saying that she couldn't have survived in the industry for 50 long years and could's have acted with top stars repeatedly in their films with such demands.
Rajamouli, however, humbly admitted his mistake and tendered his apologies to Sridevi. The episode thus ended on a happy note.
A nine numbered news channel, however, had a twisted report on the entire episode and tried to elevate only Rajamouli's greatness and showed Sridevi in a poor light. In its special program, the channel reported Rajamouli's greatness was once again proved with his apologies to Sridevi.
The channel reported how were the women characters in Rajamouli got highlighted in his movies. Saying so, the channel tried to showcase SSR had all respect on women. But then, the channel ignored criticisms which came with romantic episodes of Prabhas and Tamannah in Baahubali the Beginning. And more shockingly, the channel didn't even mention a single point of defence by Sridevi in Sakshi newspaper. Having watched the program, observers felt that the channel should have got its caste factors confined to politics but not to be expanded to cine industry.
