Actor Balakrishna took an aggressive posture the other day and took strong exception to the comment made by an unnamed Telugu hero who had said that there have been no experimental film makers in Telugu industry.

At a Sri Rama Rajyam meet on Oct. 31, Balayya said that the actor who made the foot-in-mouth comments does not know the history of Telugu cinema. He even said that he warned the actor that he would not think twice to kick in his teeth if he made such uninformed comments again.

There has been speculation about who Balayya was referring to.

The actor, who has always been a proud member of the Telugu film fraternity, repeatedly asserted the genius of some marvellous makers like Bapu to drive home the point that Tollywood has produced great film makers too.

Besides Chiranjeevi who threw his weight behind Balayya today, the actor's comments have found resonance across the board with many pointing to the likes of K Vishwanath and K Raghavendra Rao to say that the young actor was wrong.
