Baahubali producer accuses Emirates staff of being racist, rude

Shobu Yarlagadda, the producer of Baahubali, has accused an airline of harassment as well as rude and racist behaviour towards the team of the film. The alleged experience happened while the team was travelling to Hyderabad today.

Yarlagadda shared his experience on his Twitter page in the wee hours of the morning. He first said, 'Flying to Hyd on @emirates EK526. Airline staff at gate B4 were very rude n harassed our team unnecessarily! Bad attitude n service!' 

He followed it up with a more serious charge against one of the staff members saying. 'I think one of the @emirates staff was being racist. I fly @emirates regularly n this is 1st time I have come across this kind of attitude.' 

Yarlagadda, however, did not elaborate on the actions of the staff or the names of the team members who were subjected to such behaviour. 

Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj and Tamannaah Bhatia, Baahubali: The Conclusion is set to be released on 28 April. The craze for the film’s advance booking has been unprecedented.
