Recently, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy commented on the social responsibility of those in the cinema industry as part of drug prevention efforts.

He stated that if filmmakers want to increase ticket prices or seek any assistance for their movies, the actors should create awareness videos about drugs. This statement elicited various reactions from filmmakers.

The first Telugu movie to release after this announcement is "Bharatiyadudu 2," which is set to premiere on July 12.

During a recent press meeting for the film, a media representative asked the actors about the CM's condition and their views on social responsibility.

In response, Siddharth said, "Social responsibility is my responsibility. I don't get what a chief minister says.

I have no comments on whether every actor has social responsibility, but every actor has a social responsibility.

We will release that over time. We will do what the CM asked. No CM told us that we will do this to you if you do this." His comments received negative promotion.

Later in the evening, actors Kamal Haasan, Siddharth, Samuthirakani, and director Shankar from the "Bharatiyadudu 2" team released a short video endorsing CM Revanth Reddy's anti-drug campaign, stating, "Don't use drugs.

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy is doing a good job." This initiative by the "Bharatiyadudu 2" team suggests that other film units will follow suit in creating drug prevention videos as per the CM's conditions.

Team #Indian2 extends its full support to the Telangana Government's initiative against drugs and requests everyone to say "NO TO DRUGS."@revanth_anumula @ikamalhaasan @shankarshanmugh #Siddharth @thondankani#ZeroTolerance #Bharateeyudu2 #Indian2FromJuly12 pic.twitter.com/enPA6QmySr
