Ramajogaiah Sastry expressed frustration over the mixed response to the song “Oh My Baby” from Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s movie, “Guntur Kaaram.” Disappointed with the criticism directed at the song’s lyrics, he lashed out at Mahesh Babu fans and others on social media.
This led to a wave of backlash against him, Thaman (the music composer), and producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi. The negative campaign on Twitter by Mahesh fans against Thaman and the heavy criticism of the song’s lyrics pushed Sastry to react strongly, condemning those who were spreading hate and targeting the technicians involved.
Sastry highlighted that while social media allows both appreciation and criticism, the fans’ and audiences’ overall verdict ultimately matters the most.
Some people supported Sastry’s frustration, but many others trolled him in response to his outburst. The situation underscores the situation nature of social media where opinions, both positive and negative, can significantly impact the perception of creative work.
