"Both Chiru and Mohan Babu are dear friends to me in the film industry. I didn't say anything against Ram Charan. I only said anyone from our industry should not demean Telugu filmmakers. If they do, I will continue to react but my remarks were not aimed at Charan babu," he said.
Speaking to the media in Hyderabad, Balakrishna gave clarification on this issues and as well as on his alleged remarks against Telangana. "Neither did I say that Andhra Pradesh be united or separated. A section is trying to malign me. To me, every region is same and I love all."
