Hastag ‘BoycottNeflix’ was trending on Twitter a couple of days ago, it was because of their recent Telugu film Krishna and his Leela which allegedly hurted the sentiments of the Hindus. The film was released directly on 25 June 2020 on Netflix. Krishna and his Leela talks about a young man who is torn between his past and present girlfriends, a confused bachelor’s indecisiveness spins a web of lies and cheating as he struggles to commit. The male of the film is called Krishna who is seen having sexual encounters with several women and one of them being named Radha. Using names of Hindu deities in a movie with erotic content has irritated a section of people who have now started to protest against Netflix on social media. People claim that it is an insult to their religion and call for censorship in the OTT platform. Krishna and His Leela is directed by Ravikanth Perepu and produced by Suresh Productions, Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Sanjay Reddy. Suresh Productions is a subsidiary of Rama Naidu Studios, founded by Dr. D Ramanaidu. The production house of the company is Ramanaidu Studios which is located at Hyderabad. Suresh Productions, is one of India’s largest film production companies with over 50 years of contribution to national and regional cinema. 
 
Krishna and his Leela features Siddu Jonnalagadda, Shraddha Srinath, Seerat Kapoor and Shalini Vadnikatti in the lead roles. This is Ravikanth Perepu's second film after 2016 mystery-thriller Kshanam. The music was composed by Sricharan Pakala.  Director Ravikanth Perepu made a superb start with his debut directorial ‘Kshanam’ which released 4 years ago. Helmed on a shoe-string budget, the mystery-thriller left an everlasting impression. The film was later remade in other regional languages too and it gave the film’s lead Adhvi Sesh a much-needed break. Now Ravikanth Perepu is back with his second film Krishna And His Leela which was shot at Ladakh. The film stars Kalki fame Siddu Jonnalagadda as Krishna while Shraddha Srinath, Seerat Kapoor and Shalini Vadnikatti play the female leads. Rana Daggubati who happens to be the distributor of ‘Krishna And His Leelai’ has been promoting the film on his social media platforms aggressively. The music is composed by Sricharan Pakala and the cinematography is handled by Shaneil Deo. After direct Netflix release, the film will now premiere on another digital platform called aha which belongs to Allu Arjun’s family.
