I don't know Ambati Rambabu, says actor Prudhvi Raj

Popular actor Prudhvi Raj dismissed allegations that he imitated dance steps of Andhra Pradesh Minister Ambati Rambabu in the recent release ‘Bro’ starring Pawan Kalyan. “Somebody asked me, why did I imitate Ambati Rambabu in the film. But I told them that I don’t know anyone named Ambati Rambabu. Besides, he is not an Oscar winning actor to emulate him,” said Prudhvi at a ‘Bro’ promotional event today.

For the last two days, varied media has been showing a few dance steps in a pub by Prudhvi(Syam Babu), along with Ambati’s dance during Bhogi Sankranthi festival in real-life which went viral. “I just followed director Samudrakani’s instructions. He told me that I am playing a hopeless guy who spends time with girls and drinks in a pub, so I danced in that carefree mood,” he adds.  

Earlier, responding to this alleged spoof, Ambati Rambabu wrote on Twitter, “Gelichinodi Dance Sankranthi, Vodinodi Dance Kalaratri.” Ambati took a direct dig at Pawan Kalyan and his party’s rout in the last elections.
