Dil Raju against ban on Siddharth

Siddharth received notices served by MAA for the derogatory comments made by him against journalists. Though he is not looking worried, producer Dil Raju is mediating with media journalists in settling the problem amicably. Reason is this producer is making Oh My Friend film with Siddharth. Once if the ban is announced, movie will not get any support from media in publicity. For this reason, Dil Raju is lobbying between both the sides. Media wanted public apology from Siddharth in live TV channels but he is not agreeing for the terms.-MM

Journalists lodge a complaint on Siddharth

Actor Siddharth was in for a major surprise when he attended a press conference of his movie '180' in Hyderabad on Tuesday. After his co-star Priya Anand spoke to the media about the film, Siddharth got ready to address the press. TV channels switched off the lights and pulled the microphones off Siddharth's table.

Film Journalists in Andhra Pradesh are up in arms against Siddharth for making derogatory remarks against their 'families'. Before the release of '180', local news channels N tv and ABN Andhra Jyothy telecasted programmes on how there is poor buzz about '180' and almost declared that the movie would be a flop.

Angry with the news channels, Siddharth tweeted that "these journalists will even sell off their families for such reports"

This tweet of Siddharth triggered off a controversy and AP Film Journalists' Association has demanded an unconditional apology from the actor. Film News Casters Association Of Electronic Media has dashed off a letter to Movie Artistes' Association, AP Film Chamber of Commerce and even South Indian Film Chamber of commerce demanding action against Siddharth.

Siddharth's track record of being rude to media dates back to a few more press conferences. At a media conference recently, when press asked him why he does only cholcate boy roles,he asked them if they wanted him to play female lead roles.

He had earlier also rubbished Telugu film media as journalists who live on stars and their tweets.

Our source from Telugu film Journalists' association claims that until Siddharth tenders an apology, media will continue to boycott all his films and won't carry news related to his movies anymore.

Siddharth’s rift with journos

It appears that the stand-off between the actor Siddharth and Telugu film media, especially the television channels is getting worsened with each passing day. It may be noted that film reporters of various TV channels recently complained to the Movie Artistes Association (MAA) president Murali Mohan against the actor’s remarks posted on Social Networking site Twitter that television channel reporters don’t hesitate to sell their families for news kicking off a controversy. When Murali Mohan sought an explanation from the actor, he reported told him that he didn’t mention that it was aimed at Telugu media.

Irked at the explanation, the film reporters complained to Dasari Narayana Rao who in turned advised Murali Mohan to put an end to the issue as soon as possible. “It would snowball into a controversy once the national media flashes it. Get him apologize to the media,” the veteran filmmaker advised.

Siddharth vs. Dasari

Young actor Siddharth seems to be the latest addition to the "hit list" of veteran filmmaker Dasari Narayana Rao, known these days for his mission to rein in young stars who he thinks have become too big for their boots!

Siddharth recently earned the wrath of the Telugu media for his abusive tweet: "3rd grade 'N'ews channels will sell their families to make up an hour of TV. Clarifying their garbage & lies is not worth our time. Ignore!"

The Film Newscasters' Association of Electronic Media (FNAEM) immediately lodged a complaint against Siddharth with MAA and Andhra Pradesh Producers' Council, but no action has been taken so far. According to sources, Dasari has now decided to step into the ring and take on the actor for FNAEM.

Dasari, who has reportedly taken the issue very seriously, had called MAA president Murali Mohan recently and told him that Siddharth should apologize. Though Murali Mohan tried to persuade Dasari that Siddharth's comment was not against the Telugu media, Dasari insisted that the actor should apologize as he is a popular actor in Telugu and currently he is doing mostly Telugu films," a report said.

It is also learnt that Dasari spoke firmly with Dil Raju, who is making a film with Siddharth. "Dasari told Raju clearly that if Siddharth does not tender an apology, he would take the issue very seriously and make it a 'national issue', because if the comment was not intended for the local Telugu media, it must have been for the national media!" the report added. Meanwhile, the FNAEM is planning to approach the Human Rights Commission with regard to Siddharth's derogatory comments.
