“I had not anticipated that the scenes would be perceived so negatively by audiences. The idea was to showcase a playful romance story between Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. However, we’ll be more careful and make better representations,” said Buchi Babu Sana.
The sports action drama, set in rural Andhra Pradesh during the 1980s, showcases the journey of a lower-caste youngster and a hired coolie who takes up wrestling to bring recognition to his village. AR Rahman is the music composer.
