Director Siddharth Anand has found himself on the receiving end of criticism from Telugu film fans after his now-deleted ‘Oops’ comment on an X post went viral. The original post listed several recent Telugu releases featuring major stars, including NTR Jr, Pawan Kalyan, Vijay Deverakonda, Ram Charan, Prabhas, Mahesh Babu and Nandamuri Balakrishna, and labelled them ‘flop’. Siddharth’s one-word response appeared to mock the films’ box-office performances, prompting fans to hit back. Several users pointed out that films such as Kalki 2898 AD and Devara had performed strongly, while others reminded the Fighter director of his own film’s underwhelming theatrical run and criticised his remarks.
