'Mass Jathara' Crew Defends Controversial Song Lyrics Amid Backlash

On October 9th, 2025, the team behind the upcoming film 'Mass Jathara' spoke out in defense of their song 'Ole Ole', which had faced significant social media backlash. Director Bhanu Bhogavarapu explained that the lyrics were intended to capture the rustic humor and festive spirit of village celebrations, rather than any disrespectful connotation.

The film's lead actress, Sreeleela, supported her director's stance, stating that the lyrics were perfectly aligned with the story's tone and her character's emotions. Meanwhile, lead actor Ravi Teja suggested that people were reacting only to the opening lines of the song and not the "fun that follows it." He urged viewers to withhold judgment until they could see the full sequence in the film, emphasizing that context transforms perception.

The 'Mass Jathara' team's response comes as they prepare for the film's theatrical release on October 31st, 2025. Despite the initial social media backlash, the crew remains confident in the cultural and situational relevance of the song's content, and they hope to entertain audiences with the local flavor and festive energy it represents.
