Filmmaker Parasuram has landed in hot soup for defending a controversial scene from his latest release ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’. He has been slammed by a group of fans for defending the scene in which Babu makes Keerthy lie next to him and puts his leg on her. Parasuram compared the scene with a child sleeping next to his mother.
The movie has grossed over £17 million worldwide and is still running in select theatres. In a post-release media interview, Parasuram spoke about the controversial love track between Mahesh Babu and Keerthy Suresh in the movie. He said he didn’t find anything vulgar in the scenes between them. He said, “What exactly is the issue with that scene? In my opinion, it’s similar to a child wanting to sleep with his mother. Also, if that scene is so problematic, wouldn’t Mahesh have asked me to remove it?”
The director was slammed by a section of the internet. One user wrote, “Mother and wife are never equal, in any aspect. What an incestuous way to defend it. Agree on the mistake and move on, man.” Another wrote, “Can men stop comparing partners to moms.”
The movie marked the maiden collaboration between Mahesh Babu and director Parasuram.
