As a result, the movie's worldwide gross collection has now touched an impressive Rs 317.12 crore.

Lyricist Defends Film Amid Character Controversy

While the film enjoys box office success, discussions around Janhvi Kapoor's character continue online. Addressing the controversy during a success event, lyricist Anantha Sriram defended the creative choices made by director Buchi Babu Sana.

According to him, characters should be viewed within the context of a filmmaker's vision and storytelling style. He argued that different forms of expression are often judged by varying standards and warned against restricting artistic freedom due to social media criticism.

The lyricist also suggested that the director's apology was likely motivated by a desire to avoid hurting sentiments rather than an admission of wrongdoing. He emphasized that excessive scrutiny could discourage filmmakers from exploring bold themes and authentic character portrayals in mainstream cinema.
