Yash's fans are upset with Ravi Teja ahead of "Tiger Nageswara Rao" release; Know why

Ravi Teja's upcoming film, "Tiger Nageswara Rao," has been one of the year's most highly-anticipated releases. Directed by Vamsi, this period-action thriller tells the story of a legendary thief from Stuartpuram known for his audacious heists and ability to outsmart the police. As Ravi Teja actively promotes the pan-India release of the film, a recent interview has sparked controversy, leaving fans divided.

The film unit is busy with promotions, and during a promotional interview, Ravi Teja shared his views on several actors from the South. Regarding Rocking star Yash, Ravi Teja mentioned that he had only seen Yash in "KGF" and felt fortunate to have worked on such a film. "Yash is very lucky to get a film like KGF," said Ravi Teja.

Unfortunately, this comment did not sit well with Yash's devoted and massive fanbase, who interpreted Ravi Teja's words as jealousy towards Yash's remarkable success. The interview clip quickly went viral, triggering a social media clash involving fans of Yash and Ravi Teja and Yash's critics.

Adding to the complexity, Ravi Teja's film is set to release alongside Shiva Rajkumar's "Ghost" in Karnataka. In response to what they perceive as Ravi Teja's 'disrespectful' comment about Yash, fans have started demanding a boycott of "Tiger Nageswara Rao." This has led to calls for an apology from Ravi Teja.

It remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the release and reception of "Tiger Nageswara Rao."
