Since the release of the controversial film 'Baby,' discussions surrounding its content and success have been rife. While some have compared it to other blockbuster hits like 'Arjun Reddy' and 'RX 100,' hailing it as iconic, others have criticized it for its divisive storyline. However, amidst the debates, a significant point of contention emerged - the alleged casting snub of Vishwak Sen by the film's director, Sai Rajesh.
Sai Rajesh had previously stated that he offered the lead role in 'Baby' to a young actor, who declined the opportunity without even hearing the script. Many reports pointed to Vishwak Sen as the actor in question, a claim also reinforced by renowned actor Allu Arjun.
In response to these ongoing remarks, Vishwak Sen, on Wednesday, addressed the media. Although he did not explicitly mention 'Baby' or Sai Rajesh, many speculate that his statements were a subtle dig at the film's makers.
During his interaction with the press, Vishwak Sen asserted that he is not a "biryani" (a dish meant to please everyone). He emphasized that when a film succeeds, those involved should focus on its success rather than blaming others for their decisions. The actor went on to clarify that he had indeed congratulated the team behind'Baby' after watching its trailer, indicating that he bears no ill will towards the film.
As for his decision not to listen to the narration of 'Baby,' Vishwak Sen defended it as a personal choice. He stated that he didn't want to waste the director's time by hearing the script for an hour, only to reject the offer later. He expressed that some people may have been hurt by his refusal, leading to criticism directed at him.
