What did Cinematography minister Komatireddy Venkatareddy said about Pushpa 2?

In a recent media interaction, Cinematography minister Komatireddy Venkatareddy said that, “If you like Pushpa 2, do watch it. Even I watched the movie, but I felt like I wasted 3 and a half hours of my valuable time. I could have visited at least 10 villages during that time. The film is spoiling the youths. From now on, I’ll only watch movies made on themes like our gods, our rich history, and the Telangana revolution”.
