Soon after the interview went live, within no time, the comments made by Venkatesh Maha went viral and received backlash from the netizens and Kannada fans. Since then Yash fans across the city and Kannada moviegoers started trending negative tags on Venkatesh Maha.
#InsecureLoaferVenkateshMaha and #AttentionBeggerVenkateshMaha are trending at nationwide on the Twitter platform on a wider note. Even though Venkatesh Maha gave an explanation of his appropriate language in the round table interaction through a video bite, he is seen nowhere regretting his comments on KGF.
