During the IIFA Awards, Rana Daggubati stirred controversy with several satirical comments targeting notable stars and recent films, which didn’t sit well with fans. In one instance, he directly referenced Ravi Teja’s recent film Mr. Bachchan, stating “this year he witnessed Bachchan sirs highest highs and lowest lows.” When co-host Teja asked if Kalki was the “high,” Rana appeared to imply that the “low” was Ravi Teja’s latest movie, though Teja interrupted him before he could finish. Fans quickly caught on, interpreting this as a jab at Mr. Bachchan.
Rana also made satirical comments on Maa Vishnu and the MAA association, as well as OM Raut’s emotional statement about reserving a seat for Hanuman in every theater for Adipurush, which definitely did not go over well with everyone.
Rana also commented on Pushpa 2, calling it “Pushpa Too Late” due to its repeated delays. Additionally, Rana brought up a comparison between Teja and Mahesh Babu, referring to both as former child artists, but humorously labeling one as a “superstar” and the other a “superhero.”
He further commented on their Sankranti releases, alluding to the previous Sankranti season when Mahesh’s ‘Guntur Kaaram’ received mixed reviews while Teja’s ‘Hanuman’ became an industry hit. Rana’s comments have fueled an online frenzy, with fans of various stars engaging in heated debates. Though satire is often part of award shows, many felt his remarks went too far, leading to significant backlash across social media platforms.
