Sivaji recently landed in controversy after making comments about actresses dressing styles and using a few abusive words.
His words sparked strong criticism from feminists and many social media users while some people online came out in his support. As the debate spread across media platforms attention moved away from his latest film.
Sivaji plays an important role in Dhandoraa where he acts as a father to characters played by Nandu and Manika Sri.
His performance has been appreciated and the film has received mostly positive reviews especially for its message. However the controversy overshadowed the film’s release.
Sivaji requested them to focus on Dhandoraa instead of his personal issues. He said the film is a sincere team effort and deserves to reach a wider audience adding that he will take responsibility for handling the controversy himself.
