Actor Ram Charan's fans wanted to do something special to show their love for him ahead of the release of Peddi. However, their token of admiration only invited trolling when it was unveiled.
A team member defended it even as the fans issued a public apology.
After the trolling gained intensity, Siva put out a statement that read: 'It is easy to criticize from a distance, but every fan initiative is driven by genuine love and effort.'
The fans that put up the idol also issued an apology, admitting that it did not go as planned.
