SS Rajamouli
SS Rajamouli has landed in the center of a social media storm for his comment at the GlobeTrotter event that was live streamed. At the event, while facing technical glitches, Rajamouli expressed his anger at Lord Hanuman. Amid this, an old tweet of the filmmaker from 2011 has been dug up and has gone viral.
What did SS Rajamouli say about Lord Hanuman?
Rajamouli was unhappy with the repeated technical glitches that prevented the team from displaying the grand teaser of the upcoming film titled Varanasi.
Addressing the audience after the technical glitch, Rajamouli apologised for the inconvenience. Recalling that his father, writer Vijayendra Prasad, had earlier said during his speech that Lord Hanuman's blessings were with the team, the filmmaker said in Telugu, "Naku devudu mida pedda nammakam ledu andi. Nannagaru vachi indaka Hanuma...venakala untadu, nadipistadu ani chepparu. Idi aina ventane kopam vachindi. Idena nadipinchedi ani? (I don't believe in God. My father mentioned that Hanuman will guide me. I got angry as soon as this (glitches) happened. Is this how He's helping me?)" Realising he had gotten overwhelmed, he paused briefly to regain composure.
Speaking of his wife Rama's deep devotion to Lord Hanuman, he said, "My wife has a great devotion to Lord Hanuman. She talks to Him like He's her friend. I even got angry with her for a while. Let's see," he said, adding, "Let's see if my wife's Hanuman helps us this time."
Later during the event when he tried once again to play the glimpse of the film, he said, "Of course, we want to see the trailer once again. I am also waiting for it. Nannagaru, oka sari mee Hanuma kapadedu anukunte, ee sari maa adiva Hanuma kapadedo ledo chuddam. (Father, if your Hanuman saved me once, let's see if my wife's Hanuman does it again)."
Rajamouli's old tweet surfaces
As Rajamouli faces heat for his comment from a section of netizens and some Hindu bodies, an old tweet of the filmmaker has surfaced. The tweet said that he never liked Lord Ram and preferred Lord Krishna instead.
His comment came after a fan wished him on Ram Navami.
"Wish you a hearty Sri Ram Navami. Let our face beam with smile all the time by chanting the name of Lord Ram," the fan wrote.
