This's not a physical slap. It's kind of a slapping retort to some accusations made by Balayya's latest heroine Radhika Apte. And the lady in the hot seat is none other than leggy lass Kriti Sanon. As Radhika rendered Tollywood as a male chauvinist, discipline lacking film industry, Kriti says what's her experience here like.

"There's nothing like sidelining a heroine for the sake of hero. I've been always treated well by Telugu folks. They give lot of respect, committed towards work and help-centric", says Kriti Sanon, sharing her thoughts. With her "Dochay" alongside Naga Chaitanya getting ready for a release, Kriti stresses that Tollywood is the place anyone would die to work for, after Bollywood. "There's no sort of partiality here, though we get treated with respect as per the hierarchy. That is good in fact", she concludes.

Telugu cinema admirers are looking at Kriti Sanon's words like a huge slap for Radhika Apte who termed Tollywood as a piece of uncivilized industry. "Radhika might have issues with her film's producer, but she shouldn't generalise whole Telugu Industry then", says few cinema people.
