Raghava Lawrence openly stated that he will always be thankful to Chiranjeevi for giving him first song opportunity as a choreographer and to Nagarjuna for making him a director.
None of the Telugu heroes or fans took these comments as him being against to them or their heroes. May be the times were different. May be even Telugu fans will start scolding him if he says he used to be a fan of Chiranjeevi and hence, he used to hate other heroes? We can't say.
But Tamil fans of Kamal Hassan, took the comments of Raghava Lawrence as immature and hurtful statements against their idol.
Raghava said that he used to be a huge fan of Rajni and obviously used to hate Kamal Hassan, as he was the major competition for his favorite hero.
He used to vandalise posters of Kamal as he was completely under wrong influence. He accepted that he was wrong in doing so and said that he understood what it takes to become a star and how great these actors are.
Hence, he started respecting everyone and especially, Kamal Hassan. He tried to say this as a message to fans of Rajni, Kamal, Ajith and Vijay, asking them respect other heroes. He made these comments on the Darbar audio launch stage.
Now, fans of Kamal Hassan took these comments from Raghava Lawrence as his hatred towards their idol and asked him to apologize. He went to Kamal Hassan's house and explained his comments to the actor. He took it in his stride and accepted gladly, the fact that Raghava respects him today.
But his fans seem to still make it a Big deal. We have to say, he is lucky that he used Rajni and Kamal names. Had he used Ajith or Vijay names, may be his posters would have been burnt across the state by now. Fans must realise that other actors and stars do exist not just their favorites.
