Minister Malla Reddy’s words have now sparked a row on social media with many expressing disappointment with him.
Ranbir Kapoor was promoting his upcoming movie Animal at a mega event in Hyderabad on Monday, November 27. Besides Ranbir, the event was also attended by actor Mahesh Babu and filmmaker SS Rajamouli. While several videos from the mega show are going viral on social media, what has now caught everyone’s attention is the shocking statement by the Telangana Minister of Labour and Employment, Malla Reddy.
During the show, Malla Reddy took to the stage and made some shocking statements. He said that the Telugu people will rule “Hindustan, Bollywood, Hollywood” in the coming years. Not just this, he even asked Ranbir to shift to Hyderabad claiming Mumbai is “old” now.
“Ranbir ji, aapko ek baat bolna chahta hu. Agla paanch saal mein, poore Hindustan ko, Bollywood, Hollywood, poora ruling karega humara Telugu people. Aap bhi ek saal ke baad Hyderabad shift hona padta. Kyu bole toh Bombay purana ho gaya. Bangalore traffic jam ho gaya. Hindustan mein ek hi city hai woh hai Hyderabad (Ranbir, I want to tell you something. In the next five years, Telugu people will rule over India, Bollywood and Hollywood. You will also have to move to Hyderabad next year. Why? Because Mumbai is old now and Bengaluru has traffic jams. Hyderabad is the only city in India),” the minister said as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Malla Reddy’s words have now sparked a row on social media with many expressing disappointment with him. “He is just a politician doing this for vote bank,” one of the users wrote. “For all Hindi-speaking friends, he’s a politician. He wants votes. Take it like a pinch of salt,” another comment read.
