Naga Vamsi said, “It might sound really harsh, but we, South Indians, have changed the way Bollywood looks at cinema. Bollywood is stuck in making films for Bandra and Juhu. You witnessed a change with Baahubali, RRR, Animal, and Jawan.”
Suryadevara Naga Vamsi has produced popular films like Jersey, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Lucky Baskhar and more. Netizens are saying that his attitude while interrupting Boney Kapoor was not very fair.

Meanwhile, there are lots who support him for standing up for the southern industries and not letting the Hindi producers exert the Hindi hegemony. Many feel what Vamsi said is not wrong. He just shows the mirror to Boney Kapoor who is famous for south remakes.
But there is a lot of controversy regarding his ways of putting his words and people are saying he could have been more polite and smooth while talking to a senior producer like Boney Kapoor.
