Hindustan TimesProducer Sreenivasa Kumar Naidu, known in the film industry as SKN, left movie buffs confused by the comments he made at the promotional event of Dragon.

When clips of the speech made way online, one person commented, “Indirect ga vaishnavi Chaitanya ne annada.” Another wrote, “Vaishnavi em chesindhi ila matladuthunna.” One commented, “Baby effect.” Others wondered what the context was behind him saying that. ” Another wrote, “Mari sagam sagam cheppatam kante complete ga cheppochuga anna maku ardham ayiddhi ga evaru elanti vallo ani ” SKN is known for producing films like Baby, Taxiwaala and Eerojullo.
