Siddharth recently sparked controversy during the promotion of his film Miss You.

He took a dig at the massive crowd at the Pushpa 2 trailer launch in Patna, comparing it to people gathering at a JCB digging site.

His remarks, perceived as arrogant and dismissive, quickly became a topic of debate.

He downplayed the crowd's size, calling it a mere marketing tactic, and compared their curiosity to spectators watching a JCB at work. He tried to imply that large crowds don't necessarily translate to genuine interest or stardom.

Unsurprisingly, his comments didn't sit well with Telugu cinema fans, who waited for an opportunity to troll him.

As expected, Siddharth's film Miss You is seeing dismal advance bookings. In Hyderabad city, only 50 tickets were booked in total, with a mere 5 tickets sold at the main theater, Sudarshan 35mm-fewer than the typical number of people stopping to watch JCB construction work.

The situation was no better in Siddharth's home state, Tamil Nadu.

Telugu trolls seized the moment to mock him on social media. One user quipped, "Can somebody please park a JCB outside Sudarshan 35mm theater for tomorrow!"

Siddharth needs to realize that speaking badly about other films or stars can create a negative impression and turn audiences against him.

Even if one of his movies is good, people might avoid watching it because of his remarks. Instead, he should focus on appreciating the hard work of others and stop making unnecessary comments. This could help him rebuild his reputation and win back the support of the audience.

Pushpa 2 is racing towards 1500 crore worldwide gross whereas Siddharth's Miss You is heading to be a big disaster unless there is a miraculous turnaround.
