Dancer-turned-actor Raghava Lawrence recently faced backlash for comparing people to stray dogs during a press meet. However, he has clarified his statement, stating that he was only referring to the time it takes to understand a new environment.
Lawrence spoke to the press about his political entry and the current TN government formed by Vijay. He used an analogy to explain that it takes time to understand the surroundings of a new house, even the habits of the dogs in the area.
But when shortened clips from the interview began circulating, many took offence at the suggestion that people were like stray dogs. Lawrence soon took to social media to post a video of the full statement he had made and clarify his analogy.
He stated that he has always said that his fans and the people are equal to his mother and that he respects them deeply. Lawrence has the horror comedy film Kanchana 4 lined up, which he is also directing and producing. He will also soon debut in Lokesh Kanagaraj's cinematic universe (LCU) with Benz.
