“I want to clarify my previous comment regarding Ramoji Film City in the context of promoting my movie MAA. I have shot several projects at Ramoji Film City and I’ve stayed there on many occasions. I have always found it to be a very professional filmmaking environment, and I have seen countless tourists there having a great time. It is a fantastic location and completely safe for families and children.”
Her clarification was a means of softening hurt feelings, and while some fans were able to appreciate a fair response, others were not swayed.
One user wrote, “But why did you say differently then?”
Another supported her reply with, “You are one of the few honest actors in the industry who can call a spade a spade.”
A third user had a tongue-in-cheek reply, “Capitalism prevails always lol. I was fully expecting this reaction from you.”
Over the years, many Bollywood and regional stars have had ghostly encounters while filming at Ramoji Film City, but none have publicly stated it was ‘haunted’ as Kajol recently did.
