Baby is creating massive controversy - leaked video..?
There have been some occasions in the telugu cinema industry where youth-oriented films have been criticised for their explicit material or for using crude or obscenities directed at women. RX100, a movie directed by ajay Bhupathi, received criticism for its unfavourable representation of female characters in 2017. The same is currently taking place with the recently released short movie Baby.
Some viewers are hailing it as a cult classic, while others are criticising it for having some offensive statements that not only demean the female character in the movie but are also directed at actual women. A video from the movie leaked and went viral, which has led to the film's current intense criticism.
Anand Deverakonda, the movie's protagonist, is shown verbally abusing Vaishnavi chaitanya in the leaked footage. Many online users are criticising the movie's hero Anand and writer/director Sai Rajesh, wondering how they could have created such destructive scenes. Given that the controversy has only been going on for a day and that internet users are already predicting more unfavourable reactions to the movie, it appears that it will only get worse.
