Filmmaker Hansal Mehta Pushpa 2 comment has taken social media by storm after he called out producer Naga Vamsi for his remark about the much-awaited Pushpa: The Rule. It was Mehta, who is known for films like Scam 1992 and Aligarh that got good reviews, who spoke out against what he called Vamsi’s “arrogant” statement.
Hansal Mehta wrote on X, “Since this person Mr Naga Vamsi was being so arrogant and now that I know who he is: His latest hit as a producer Lucky Bhaskar has borrowed liberally from the Scam series.” He added, “Reason I brought this up is that I feel happy that stories travel and a film in another language suceeds in replicating what has worked for us. Everybody wins. Nobody is bigger than the other. That narrative is destructive. Arrogance is even worse.”
“To all those haters coming at me on my TL – see you in 2025.” he wrote in end.

In an interview, Naga Vamsi is said to have talked about how popular Pushpa 2 is in Indian movies, which started the controversy. Mehta said on Twitter that the tone of the statement was wrong and that humility is an important trait in the movie business, no matter how successful you are. Many people agreed with what he said, but some thought he might have misunderstood what Vamsi said.
