He had shared that unlike other film industries of India, Telugu cinema has a strong emotional core because it isn’t still ruled by the corporates.

When asked what separates Telugu cinema from other industries of India, he told IANS, “I think emotional ownership. And I’ll tell you what I mean by that. Telugu cinema till date is still produced by individual producers. Someone might have mortgaged a house and he’s come to produce a film, someone sold a piece of land, and he’s come to produce a film.”

He added, “Someone did well for himself in real estate or she’s a doctor and she’s come to produce a film. Whatever it may be. These are the people who are producing even our INR 300, 400, 500 crore films”.
