Director SS Rajamouli says letter to Krish on 'Gautamiputra Satakarani' wasn't penned by him

Written by : TNM

A letter, purportedly written by SS Rajamouli to director Krish, praising his film Gautamiputra Satakarani, went viral some days ago.

However, Rajamouli has now revealed that he did not pen the letter and it was a conversation with Krish that had been published as a letter.

The Baahubali director pointed out that he did tell Krish to come out with a clarification that it was not a letter but it did not come following which he was forced to do it himself.

In a series of tweets that SS Rajamouli posted, he had said: “When I was asked to do an interview with Krish, I obliged because I liked GPSK and genuinely appreciated it. I was asked whether they can use the excerpts of the same interview for print media too and I agreed. But, I was surprised to see when it was published as if I have written a letter. True that the content is taken from the interview but the way it was phrased is a bit over dramatic. I asked Krish and he said it is his team's over enthusiasm. I waited for a clarification from them but it didn’t come through. My view towards the film, Krish and his team, hasn't changed. I wish the film collects even more paving way for more historicals...Just that the letters are not written by me.”
