Telangana
chief minister Revanth
reddy said that performers who want to charge more for tickets during theatrical releases or who want to shoot films outside should make videos to spread awareness about drug misuse and cybercrime.
siddharth, on the other hand, is adamant that performers already possess a social conscience and that these kinds of directives are superfluous.
A reporter in
hyderabad questioned if performers are "socially responsible" when promoting Shankar's
indian 2, citing the
telangana chief minister's request for videos in exchange for assistance with filming or distribution.
siddharth responded to the question posed to all of the stars in attendance, informing
kamal haasan and
rakul preet singh that they didn't have to.
He said, “My name is Siddharth;
telugu people have seen me work for 20 years. I cooperated with the
government between 2005 and 2011, held a condom in my hand, and promoted safe
sex on billboards in a united Andhra Pradesh. That was me being responsible, not because a
cm told me to. In the same way, every actor is socially responsible; we do things on our conscience. Whichever
cm requests us to do something, we will do it. No
cm has told us; only if you do this will we do something else.”
