MUMBAI: after the prolonged controversy regarding Mahesh Babu’s recent ‘Bollywood cannot afford me’ comment, the Telugu star is facing backlash on social media for promoting a tobacco brand wherein netizens are also dragging his Bollywood remark.
Several social media users took to Twitter questioning the megastar for promoting a tobacco brand. “Bollywood can’t afford Mahesh Babu but pan masala can," one of the tweets read. Another person wrote, “I assume only TFI stars like #MaheshBabu are allowed to sell Pan Masala products, while the rest are abused for doing the same. Nice double standards"
Mahesh Babu became a part of a pan masala advertisement last year. While the campaign also starred Tiger Shroff, netizens have now unearthed the advertisement to attack Mahesh Babu.

Earlier, Mahesh Babu was backlashed for his derogative remarks on working in Hindi films. When the actor was asked about his Hindi debut during a recent event, the actor said that Bollywood cannot afford him. “I did get a lot of offers in Hindi, but I don’t think they can afford me. I don’t want to waste my time working in an industry which can’t afford me.
However, later, the actor issued a clarification and said, “Mahesh has clarified that he loves cinema and respects all languages. He said he is comfortable doing the film where he has been working. Mahesh said he is happy to see his dream coming true as Telugu cinema is going places," the statement read.
