“In my early days as a group dancer, I was asked to stand in the back row and called a black dog (because of his skin colour). All this changed after Prabhu Deva master.” he recollected.

He noted that he wouldn’t have been successful in his life if he hadn’t heard such racist comments from the dance masters. He also thanked them all, sarcastically.

Raghava Lawrence said he directed the Kanchana series (2011, 2015, 2019) as a relief from doing continuous Telugu films. “But now, I’m unable to get out of that image.”
