Pawan Kalyan speech at "Republic" pre release event disturbed many people in the industry. Some film personalities have come up with their opinions on this.
A director close to Pawan Kalyan said, "Pawan is a jealous guy. He is not digesting the fact that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has become a Chief Minister in such a young age whereas he couldn't even become an MLA at least from one of his constituencies. That's the reason for his venting out anger with baseless allegations on YSRCP".
A producer close to Pawan said, "Pawan didn't like the film fraternity meeting Minister Perni Nani. He felt it is below dignity for the industry which is being headed by his brother. He didn't even like Chiranjeevi making a requesting appeal to the government on the other day. He also said that he would reprimand everyone in the industry who went to meet Perni Nani. The solution is about to come in two days from the side of government. At this time Pawan Kalyan messed it up with his mindless talk and troubled entire industry. It is time for entire industry to come out and condemn Pawan Kalyan's speech in the interest of the film industry".
A person from the directors' association also said, "Vaishnav Tej stood with serious expression. He is upset for his brother's health and that is seen in him. When invited as a guest to speak in his brother's film event, Pawan Kalyan made it a political nuisance. Above that Dil Raju is laughing sitting in the front row along with a director and a writer. Don't know how Vaishnav Tej and his family members must have felt but I wondered why Dil Raju and Co have no empathy for Sai Dharam's family. Their behavior speaks everything".
