Interview With Lakshmi Prasanna Manchu 01
Here is an important clarification about my interview with Manchu Lakshmi
I have received several 'challenges' about some thing I did not say in-person, or during my interview with Manchu Lakshmi. In part 2 of my interview between 15-18 min, there was a discussion about her dialogue delivery in movies. Lakshmi said 'somebody' said that she says dialogues almost like NTR. For the record, I NEVER said that she says dialogues on par with NTR. If you listen carefully, she also never said that I compared her to NTR.
She went on to say that I personally commended her that she does better than her father in dialogue delivery. This is also not true.
I did commend her confidence and I did say that she would have been as successful as she is today even if she weren't born as the daughter of Mohan Babu. I said this to her both in person and in the interview.
Another professor who also met her at the same venue as I did may have compared her acting career to Mohan Babu's acting career, but I do not recall anybody mentioning her that in dialogue delivery she can be compared to even Mohan Babu. I am not saying she was lying. It is quite possible that she genuinely believed that I compared her dialogue delivery to that of Mohan Babu's.
With that clarification I want to put this controversy to rest.
