Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has responded to criticism linking his films to a violent chainsaw attack on a schoolgirl in Andhra Pradesh. Vanga argued that the appropriate response to such a heinous crime is empathy for the victims and an understanding of the larger problem, rather than blaming cinema. He specifically called out what he described as 'failed, frustrated, jobless male/female actors, few directors, producers & parasites' who he believes use such tragedies to settle personal scores. Vanga's comments come after a 21-year-old man attacked a 15-year-old girl in a classroom, allegedly after she rejected his advances. The incident has sparked a debate about the influence of violent films on society.
