Dr Rajasekhar had dishonoured the journalists by shouting at them for no fault and in fact the fault lies with the hero himself.
It may be mentioned here that Dr Rajasekhar had successive flops. His recent flick 'Yevadaithe Naakenti', a remake of a successful Malayalam film 'Lion' went to sets and was halted after shooting some part of the film. There was a change in the music director too.
Finally, Rajasekhar himself intervened and arranged financial resources by selling some of his assets to complete the film. Some how the film had received a positive talk. Before the release of that film, Rajasekhar used to invite the press to explain its progress.
Once it earned a good talk, he turned a changed man and is behaving in a headstrong way saying that the press should wait for him.
In fact, it is the production unit which invited the press for a briefing as Mumaith Khan was in city and thought of converting it into a success meet as well. Earlier it was announced that the press meet would be at 3.30 pm and later postponed it to 5.30 pm.
Despite that the scribes patiently waited for the hero and his wife. But Dr Rajasekhar turned up only at 7 pm. After a casual talk, a popular vernacular daily reporter, reminded Rajasekhar that it was already late and urged him to start the proceedings.
Though she was a female reporter, Rajasekhar behaved rudely with her and Jeevitha Rajasekhar, who is supposed to convince her husband also spoke rudely to the reporters. Rajasekhar and Jeevitha told the scribes that they have to wait for them and if they can't wait, they could as well get out.
The film journalists seriously condemned the behaviour of Rajasekhar and reminded him that 'Pen is mightier than sword'.
They say, 'Many heroes or technicians would come and go in the Telugu film industry. All of them have to move around the studios and producers for chances. They try very hard to grab the opportunities. Even during the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, it is the artistes who threw mud against each other that several important film personalities were ignored. But the journalists had no such discrimination as they would cover all the events whether it is a big hero or a small hero and whether it is a big banner or small. We never look at the hits or flops that were given by a hero or technician and we equally cover the news of all the heroes and technicians. It is the media which continues to remain neutral without any impact of hits or flops.'
