- For
the unversed, Chandan Kumar, who was seen as Srinivas previously, had
to quit the show after a dispute with the crew members.
The actor hailing from Bangalore reportedly had a heated verbal
exchange with the team after there were allegations and counter
allegations of verbal abuse and assault between him and an assistant
director of the show. Speaking about the incident
in an exclusive chat with ETimes TV, Chandan shared, “I shuttle between
Bengaluru and Hyderabad for shoots. The last month has been hectic
because my mother was not well. She was admitted to a hospital, so I had
to travel a lot more than usual, which obviously increased my stress
levels. On some days, despite me being present on set, there are hardly
any portions of mine, so I took a power nap on one such day. When an
assistant tried to wake me up, I asked him to give me five minutes, and I
pushed him because we share a friendly bond on set. He thought that I
assaulted him, and he told this to the rest of the team. The matter
immediately reached the director’s team and more than 50 members
surrounded me. No one supported me, so I was helpless in the situation. I
don't know Telugu too well, so I couldn’t even explain the incident
properly." Quitting the show midway, Chandan asserted, “I need some rest, so I will no longer be seen in Srimathi Srinivas.”
Telugu Television Technicians and Workers Federation has imposed a
lifetime ban on Savitramma Gari Abbayi actor after the incident.
