Director Venkatesh Maha has come under fire for showing support to Shah Rukh Khan`s film Dunki. The film is releasing a day before Prabhas star Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire and social media is already abuzz with the mega clash. Venkatesh chose to book a ticket for Dunki and share it on social media, which invited criticism from Prabhas` fans.

Venkatesh, who has helmed critically acclaimed films like C/o Kancharapalem (2018) and Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya (2020), shared a snapshot of the ticket he had booked for the first day of Dunki. He wrote, "All set for Dunki on the 1st day! Can`t wait to see my favourite Shah Rukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani`s creative world! Heard there was a standing ovation at the Censor Board screening. If that is true, I believe it is going to be a roller coaster ride of emotions for all the film lovers!"
