Suhas made his Tamil debut with Mandaadi, which is doing well in both Tamil and Telugu markets.
At the film’s success meet, director Mathimaran Pugazhendhi claimed that Suhas had faced racist comments in his home state, while Tamil audiences welcomed him.
Suhas responded with a smile and did not deny the director’s remarks. Suhas started his career as a comedian in Telugu cinema and later played lead roles.
He has remained busy with Telugu projects and has not publicly spoken about facing such remarks from filmmakers.
His reaction has now sparked a social media debate with some Telugu audiences questioning the comments and others trolling Suhas for not responding strongly.
