After getting slammed by the netizens, RGV wrote, "Sorry to disappoint, but now he tells me it’s an April Fool joke (Flushed face) it’s his fault and not mine."
He further clarified that he thought of making the situation lighter. The Sarkar director tweeted, "Anyway I am just trying to make light of a grim situation but the joke is on me and if I didn't offend anyone I sincerely apologise to them".
RGV concluded by writing, "This is not April Fool ..My purugu song in 3 hours crossed the TFI celebrity song of 3 days views ..Why why why ??? https://youtu.be/EFzOA0-jfOo"
Check out the tweets below:
