Director Sreenu Vaitla’s latest release King starring Nagarjuna has created a minor controversy in the film industry. In this film, comedy actor played the role of a Music Director named Jayasuriya who is portrayed to have reached a good position by ‘copying’ the tunes of other music directors. This role was also shown tirading young girls participating in a singing competition.

Some websites, in their reviews, mentioned that the character Jayasuriya in this movie, resemble the music director Chakri. There were many comments in the past that, Chakri lifts tunes of other music directors. Also, the costumes worn by the role Jayasuriya and his body language closely resembled Chakri. This has obviously caused some pain to Chakri, who did not express it openly.

However, Sreenu Vaitla realized that Chakri was disappointed by this role and decided to clarify that he had no intentions of imitating Chakri with this role in the film. He said that, the role Jayasuriya is not at all related to Chakri and that the role was not created to target Chakri. He went on saying that Chakri is his good friend and that he felt very sad when he saw the websites comparing Jayasuriya role to Chakri. “In fact, the character was designed by me, but one of my assistant writers and neither he nor myself have any intention of insulting Chakri”, said Sreenu Vaitla.
