Now, the Telugu Producer has responded to Samantha’s cryptic Instagram Story. “She has noticed my ear hair and hair grows in many other parts of my body and I have no objection to studying and reporting on it,” he was quoted as saying by TV9 Kannada.com.

It’s not the first time Chittibabu has taken a dig at Samantha, in his previous interview with Filmy Looks, the producer had slammed Samantha, claiming that her career as “star heroine” had ended and that she was using “cheap tactics” to promote her movies. He had also said that he was surprised to see Samantha playing the lead role in Shaakuntalam.

The sarcastic reply

Days after saying this, and Samantha replying back in a sarcastic way, Chittibabu has now decided to defend his old statements against the actress and said all he meant was that the actress is not suitable to play younger characters anymore.

“Samantha is not 18-20 years old now. Quite old, so I said she was not a suitable choice for the role of the iconic beauty Shakuntala, what’s wrong with that? Her glamorous days are over and it’s time to move on to supporting roles,” Chittibabu reportedly said, adding that Samantha is not ready to accept the truth.

For unversed, Shaakuntalam is a Telugu language mythological drama film written and directed by Gunasekhar. The film was released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi on April 14. The film failed to draw crowds on its first day and reportedly earned Rs 5 crores across all languages. It performed poorly on day 2 as well and collected just Rs 1.5 crores. On day 3, Shaakuntaam managed to earn Rs 2 crores. The makers are said to have suffered more than Rs 20 crore losses.
