A couple of days ago, at the trailer launch event of DJ Tillu, a journalist asked a very vulgar question about the intimate scenes between the lead pair.
The journalist asked "In the trailer, you said you saw 16 moles on the heroine's body. Did you see these moles in real life as well?" This offensive comment drew a stern response from netizens and the Telugu Journalist's Association condemned the same.
Now, Siddhu Jonnalagadda has reacted to the development and conveyed his stance on the same. He wrote an open letter to speak about the controversial incident.
"Something deeply hurt me, and I want to address that.A very demeaning question (unintentional I would like to believe) was thrown at me during the theatrical trailer launch Of my new film Dj Tillu. A lot of people have asked me the reason behind the nature of my response. I simply chose to reject that question in a very calm and composed manner. I wasn't going to lose my temper, I chose restraint. I definitely wasn't going to dignify the question with
an answer. Period. Now, this also speaks volumes about the impression a few have towards actors.
Actors work really hard when they shoot intimate scenes, the hardest in fact. Especially for women, there are about a hundred people on set while they are kiting their co-star, sometimes with a technician holding a light right in their face."
"This takes a lot of courage, I will take the liberty of saying this on behalf of all the actors - we deserve to be respected for being that courageous and to not be spoken to in a discourteous manner. We tell stories, we entertain and we do not expect to be judged in our real lives based on what we do I genuinely request everyone to rest this here, because I want my film to be promoted for the content, the laughter it is spreading and for the madness the trailer has created, For the right reasons. DJ Tillu is coming soon in a theatre near you, to entertain, make u laugh, cry and take you through a roller coaster of
emotions. See u soon!
