Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri spoke about Sandeep Reddy Vanga and how he is his "alter ego". He said, "Sandeep Reddy Vanga is more like my alter ego in the industry...People question Sandeep Reddy Vanga for toxic masculinity, but what is really happening in the society? Isn't it the truth?...He is showing the world to the people from his point of view."
