Varun Tej’s latest film, Korean Kanakaraju, has landed in controversy shortly after its theatrical release, with a scene featuring comedian Satya spoofing a popular dialogue from veteran actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao’s film Yuga Purushudu. The sequence has upset some NTR fans, who have questioned why the makers included the scene and even alleged that the viral meme was deliberately promoted ahead of the film’s release.
