YouTube comments deleted, actor furious?

The film industry is a place where every actor desires to be seen and known for his body of work. The same is the case with talented actor Bandi Saroj, who is also an independent film maker.

Bandi Saroj Kumar, who plays the villain Nolan in Mowgli 2025, recently sparked a controversy with his strong comments against the film’s team. After the teaser “The World of Mowgli” was released, Saroj alleged that the digital team deliberately sidelined him.

He claimed that despite giving eight months of unpaid effort for the role, his presence was minimized in promotions. According to him, over 400 YouTube comments praising his performance were deleted, and even the original thumbnail featuring him with the lead actors was replaced.

Saroj went further, accusing the team of using bots to artificially boost the hero Roshan Kanakala’s popularity while ignoring genuine appreciation for his performance.

He described this as “cheap nepotism” and even suggested a “syndicate” was working against him. He appealed to producer TG Vishwa Prasad to take note of these issues.

However, the matter took a turn when Saroj deleted his posts, issued an apology citing a misunderstanding, and later deactivated his account. Screenshots of his initial remarks are still circulating online, keeping the debate alive.
