Director Venkatesh Maha has come under fire for showing support to Shah Rukh Khan's film Dunki. The film is releasing a day before Prabhas star Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire and social media is already abuzz with the mega clash. Venkatesh chose to book a ticket for Dunki and share it on social media, which invited criticism from Prabhas' fans.

Venkatesh, who has helmed critically acclaimed films like C/o Kancharapalem (2018) and Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya (2020), shared a snapshot of the ticket he had booked for the first day of Dunki. He wrote, "All set for Dunki on the 1st day! Can't wait to see my favourite Shah Rukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's creative world! Heard there was a standing ovation at the Censor Board screening. If that is true, I believe it is going to be a roller coaster ride of emotions for all the film lovers!"
