Last month there was a huge controversy when actress Samantha tweeted saying "Saw a poster of a yet to be released Telugu film. Not only is it deeply regressive, but it’s point is actually that it is deeply regressive”. Though Samantha did not the name the movie poster fans realized she was talking about Mahesh Babu's Nenokkadine poster and this led to a rigorous tweet fight that lasted for few days in which Siddharth too was dragged and led to the #GetlostSamantha&Siddarth trending all over.

The latest buzz on the issue is that the star Mahesh Babu has himself come out on the regressive Poster war and has even apologized for the same. Mahesh babu stepped back and apologized, if that poster hurt the sentiments of anyone. In a recent interview to a tabloid, Mahesh opened up about the poster controversy, saying “That poster is not controversial. But there is a lyric in that song ‘Oka ganta fish Padadhaama’, and to match the lyric, they composed it that way. It might look regressive and offensive in poster, but everything would be normal when we see the song on screen. It was not intentional to hurt anyone, but its a mistake..my apologies for that”.
