Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has suggested that actors should receive permits for outdoor film shoots or charge higher ticket prices during releases only if they create videos promoting drug abuse and cybercrime awareness. However, actor Siddharth recently made interesting comments on the topic that were seen as indirect satire aimed at Revanth Reddy.
During the promotional event for Shankar’s film Indian 2 in Hyderabad, a reporter asked Siddharth if actors are socially responsible, referring to Revanth Reddy’s suggestion. Siddharth stated his past efforts, noting that he has always been socially active without any political influence. He mentioned his work from 2005 to 2011, where he campaigned for safe sex in Andhra Pradesh. He also stated that actors are guided by their conscience and are inherently responsible citizens. Siddharth assured that actors would support any genuine request from the government but do not need directives to act responsibly.
However, this statement from Siddharth received backlash from Revanth Reddy supporters. In response to the backlash, Siddharth clarified his words. Now, responding to the issue, Siddharth said that whatever Revanth Reddy is doing is a good job and that taking care of our future children is our responsibility. He added that he has done responsible work in the past and will continue to do the same in the future.
