EXCLUSIVE : K.S.RAVIKUMAR REVEALS THE ACTUAL TRUTH BEHIND 'SUPERSTAR SLAPPING CONTROVERSY'

A video of Telugu Superstar Balakrishna aka Balayya, slapping his assistant started to spread virally over social media. The incident happened on the sets of the star's 102nd film, directed by K.S.Ravikumar. There were many speculations regarding this controversial incident, and many people had their own perceptions.
 

However, we wanted to get a clarity on this issue, so as, to know the real truth. Hence, we reached out to K.S.Ravikumar, who said, "Balakrishna had already informed his assistant that he would go inside a temple for a particular shot. If you closely look on to that video, there would be a red carpet, which leads to the temple. But, the assistant went missing during the time of the take.

So, when he came back, Balakrishna fondly touched him on his head and asked him to unlock the footwear, so that he can go inside the temple. The video is being wrongly conceived by the people, and there was no intention to show any kind of disrespectfulness."
