Controversy

edit

In one episode of the series, there was a scene where pro-Kannada activists insulted Man for not having his shop Board Name in Kannada. Following this scene, Kannadigas have expressed a great deal of anger on social media, even calling for a boycott of the show. The primary reason for this is the depiction of the pro-Kannada activists as goons in that particular scene.

After the public outcry over this scene in the series, the director Aruru Jagadish and the lead actor Naveen Krishna shared an apology video on their social media platforms.[16]
