What did Trinadha Rao Nakkina said to Anshu Ambani?

During the teaser launch event of Mazaka, the director said, “How does she even look like this, if you don’t know have idea, please watch the film Manmadhudu. Does she still look like that? She has become much thinner. I had asked her to eat and put on weight because it’s not enough for Telugu Cinema. Size needs to be bigger. She has improved now and she will improve further”. Netizens took to social media to slam the director for his comments on the actress.  

After facing backlash, actor Sundeep Kishan took to X and shared a video of the producer in which he is apologising for his comments during the event.
