Telugu actor Ravi Teja's romance with Bhagyashri Borse in Mr. Bachchan's Sitar song draws ire from netizens

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | Jul 15, 2024, at 05:16 pm

Sitar, the first song from upcoming Telugu film Mr. Bachchan, was unveiled by the makers last week.

The song captures a romantic dance sequence of lead actors, Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse.

The romance and dance moves of 56-year-old Ravi Teja and 25-year-old Bhagyashri Borse have irked the audience, at least on social media.

Several X users have slammed Ravi Teja for his "vulgar" romance with an actress half his age in the song.

Reactions

56-year-old Ravi Teja's sickening dance steps with the 25-year-old Bhagyashree Borse.

And the filmmakers don't even care to show the actress' face here, because all they want is to objectify her.

This is one of the most expected movies in Telugu.pic.twitter.com/QnW8OHDDH3

When they don't have content then go to these kind of cheap tricks

People must reject these kind of things

The actress and director should be equally criticized..They are only focusing on objectifying the women.. This promo and the previous one, there's no insights about the story or music rather only heroine's body is the main plot there..
