At an event held for SIIMA 2023, Rana Daggubati, who attended the press conference for the awards, was asked by a fan regarding Nani’s post. Talking about the post shared by Nani on his Instagram story, it featured the movie name Jai Bhim accompanied by a heartbreak emoji, showcasing his disappointment over how the film did not win an award. The Suriya starrer had received a lot of rave reviews and many fans also supported Nani about the film not receiving enough recognition at the National Film Awards. However, some fans felt that Nani was choosing the Suriya film over the prestigious victory of Allu Arjun.

A fan decided to ask the question to Rana Daggubati, wherein she wondered if Nani’s post was a result of any inhouse competition, to which the Rana responded, “Each one is entitled to his opinion. I like different kinds of movies, you like something else. It is the same with the artistes. If a film that one loves a lot doesn’t win, that makes him very sad. That’s it. It doesn’t mean that he is disappointed with another person winning the award. It is never a controversy. It was just a tweet. Amongst us, there’s never controversy.”
