Samantha Akkineni reacts to Kabir Singh maker Sandeep Vanga’s defense on criticism, calls it ‘deeply disturbing’

South Indian superstar Samantha Akkineni has reacted to Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga controversial statements while defending his film. Kabir Singh, which is an official remake of Telegu film Arjun Reddy, and starrer Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani garnered much attention for its portrayal of the characters that suggestively promoted toxic masculinity and bad behavior. The director came onboard for an interview with Anupama Chopra when he said that he doesn’t see any emotion in a relationship if two people are not allowed to slap or kiss each other whenever they want. This statement stirred a storm on social media with people calling Sandeep an ‘arrogant man’. Even actress Samantha Akkineni reacted to the rage and revealed that while she loved the film Arjun Reddy, she called the statements by the director ‘deeply disturbing.’
