Producer Bandla Ganesh made a startling revelation during a recent podcast interview, recalling an incident from the early days of his career that left a lasting impact on him.
According to Bandla Ganesh, the incident happened when he was working as a junior artiste in a film starring a major star of that era.
He said he repeatedly addressed the actor as “sir,” which apparently irritated the star. In response, the actor allegedly removed his slipper and hit Bandla Ganesh with it.
Bandla Ganesh said the humiliation became a turning point in his life. Determined to prove himself, he decided to become financially successful and eventually established himself as a producer.
Since the interview, social media has been buzzing with speculation over the identity of the star.
As the incident reportedly happened around two decades ago and involved a leading actor of that period, some netizens have floated names such as Mohan Babu and Nandamuri Balakrishna.
However, there is no evidence to support these claims, and Bandla Ganesh himself has not revealed the actor’s identity.
As a result, any attempt to identify the person remains purely speculative.
Until Bandla Ganesh chooses to disclose the name, the mystery is likely to continue fuelling debate among film fans and social media users.
