Finally the person whose name is involved in the so called Pawan Kalyan slap-gate has responded. It is none other than Shakalaka Shankar who is said to have got slapped by Powerstar for being late to the sets of Sardaar Gabbar Singh and also for not obeying director KS Ravindra (Bobby) orders.

Commenting on the same, Shankar said, "Pawan Kalyan is god to me. He's the one who gave me this role. Also I've prepared Chepala Pulusu for him during shoot and also sang songs for him. I'm always punctual to the shoot and never made fun of anyone. My god hasn't slapped me. He only warns me if I'm not doing my scenes correctly". That brings the issue to ground zero.

Sardaar is hitting cinemas on April 8th, as a Summer treat.
