The festive countdown for Mass Jathara, starring Ravi Teja and Sreeleela, has hit a minor roadblock as the song ‘Ole Ole’ comes under scrutiny for allegedly “problematic” lyrics. While some viewers claim the lines are abusive, the film’s team is standing firm, asserting that context and culture are key. In a candid interview with Suma, Sreeleela, ravi Teja, and director Bhanu Bhogavarapu addressed the controversy with clarity and confidence.
1. Director Stands His Ground
Bhanu Bhogavarapu emphasized that criticism is selective. “Some are calling other films bold, but they have an issue only with my film,” he said, adding that in village fests, short tales may sound abusive but are culturally normal and contextual.
2. Sreeleela Defends the Lyrics
The lead actress confirmed that the song fits the narrative perfectly. “Those lyrics are apt and perfect for the situation in which the song appears,” she stated, highlighting that contextual storytelling matters more than selective outrage.
3. Ravi Teja Clarifies Misinterpretation
The mass hero pointed out that people are fixating only on the opening lines, ignoring the “fun part” later in the song. He noted that a few cuss words in english are widely accepted, but when expressed in telugu, some viewers object unnecessarily.
4. Cultural Nuance vs. Misplaced Morality
The controversy underscores a double standard in cinema criticism: what is “fun” in one language is sometimes judged harshly in another, despite similar usage and context.
5. Mass Jathara Release Countdown Continues
Despite the uproar, October 31 remains the release date, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film to see the full context behind ‘Ole Ole’. The team believes that once audiences watch it on the big screen, the debate will fade into appreciation of the fun and mass energy.
6. Sreeleela & ravi Teja Chemistry Unaffected
The controversy hasn’t shaken the on-screen pairing, which continues to generate buzz. Fans are more curious than ever about how the song integrates into the film’s narrative, boosting anticipation rather than dampening it.
🚨 Closing Punch:
Mass Jathara’s “Ole Ole” controversy proves one thing: mass entertainment in telugu cinema can stir debates, but context is everything. With Sreeleela and ravi Teja backing the song and director Bhanu Bhogavarapu clarifying the cultural nuance, audiences are now set to judge for themselves on October 31, 2025, when the full fun, drama, and mass energy hit the screens.
