We have seen complaints about Tollywood actresses not being able to speak Telugu, but here is a new sort of lamentation altogether. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has said that a number of Tollywood actors don't know how to speak or write the language. Saying that Telugu is losing its dignity, Pawan said that the language in Telugu movies has been reduced to obscene words, low-end language. "They don't know how to pronounce so many words," he added.

He also suggested that many Telugu writers haven't mastered scriptures. As a result, the standard of Telugu cinema has taken a beating.

The actor-politician has been waging a crusade against the Jagan government in Andhra Pradesh for making English medium compulsory in government schools.
