Baahubali director SS Rajamouli has denied writing a letter of appreciation lauding Guatami Putra Satakarni (GPSK) director Krish. The letter had been released to the media by GPSK’s PR team. The letter was published and went viral on social media as well. Now SS Rajamouli has posted a series of tweets to clarify that it is a fake letter. He says he has not written the letter, but it does contain excerpts from an interview he did with Krish.

From all accounts, it looks like the PR team has gone overboard in an attempt to create publicity for a film that is reportedly already doing well at the box-office. There has been no clarification from the director and crew of Gautamiputra Satakarni as yet.
