The comments made by the director of 'Mandadi' at the success event of the film on the color discrimination faced by Suhas at the beginning of his career have become a topic of discussion. The director recalled that some people made comments on Suhas' color and even made fun of him in his hometown. He said that no actor should be judged based on color. However, many are mistaking these comments as being aimed at Tollywood. Netizens are saying that Telugu audiences give priority to the story and acting rather than the color of the actors.
