Srikanth Odela criticizes the unhealthy trend of blaming assistants for film leaks

Srikanth Odela took to X and reacted to the recent issue of movie content leaks. His upcoming film with Nani suffered from this leak as some news portals leaked the title before the official announcement. He urged the industry and audience not to blame the assistant directors and writers on the set. He explained that the assistants end up becoming easy targets for blame.

“Whoever it concerns, not just my film, whenever something from an upcoming film is leaked, assistant directors or writers will be held responsible. These people are the creators of the future and their selfless contribution to cinema deserves the utmost. Respect! “Change the habit of blaming really hard-working film departments and learn to admit your greed,” he complained.

He even used a slur for the perpetrator who leaked the title of his upcoming film: “I know the idiot who leaked my title and they’re not on my team.”

Recently a still from Kannappa was leaked, starring actor Prabhas. Odela’s words are interpreted by netizens as a reaction to this particular incident.
