Hyderabad, May 27 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is once again in the media headlines after a fiery social media post, slamming the dirty PR games in the industry against him and his films.

As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it. Aisa karo.... Agli baar poori kahani bolna... kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha", he said. ## When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith.
