Kiran Abbavaram says that what he said was misunderstood
Kiran first spoke about Obsession when she appeared on the Chari Not Sorry podcast. During the conversation, he joked that several of his friends told him that the Hollywood movie reminded them of ‘K-Ramp’ because of the similar story.While promoting her upcoming film ‘Chennai Love Story’, Kiran explained that she was only referring to one point and did not want to compare the two films as full works.As reported by Hindustan Times, Kiran said, “I don’t know why they are turning it into a bad thing. All I said during the fun conversation was that some of my friends watched Obsession and told me that it has a plot similar to K-Ramp. I just mentioned it there. I don’t know why they took it like this. Why is it wrong to say, this plot didn’t feel the same as the film?”The actor also expressed his respect for ‘Obsession’ and acknowledged its global popularity. According to Kiran, her statement was made lightly and she did not intend to spoil the Hollywood film.Kiran said, “Obsession is a bigger hit than ‘K-Ramp’; it has a universal reach. I have a lot of respect for it and I was just being funny. I feel like I said it continuously; they won’t watch it. When it’s written, the impression is made that I said K-Ramp is better than Obsession. I never said that, so I hope everyone will watch it. I respect other films more than my own films; I can’t disparage someone else’s film.“
