When asked what prompted him to put out the audio on Twitter, Vidyut said, “Everybody should have great respect for each other and RGV is one of the most prolific directors to meet and spend time with. I have great regard for him, he’s a genius. But I don’t know what he was trying to do.

Sometimes such things tend to happen, and I don’t know the reason for that; it’s just one of those incidents. I guess sometimes, we tend to get carried away with something. Having said that, I just did what I thought was right.

What I have put up on social media are my true and honest feelings, and I have nothing more to add. We are humans, and we react to things.”
