'Baahubali' producer accuses Emirates airlines of racism

Hyderabad: The producer of the blockbuster film "Baahubali: The Conclusion" has accused Emirates of "rude" and "racist" behaviour. Shobu Yarlagadda, 46, took to Twitter last night where he described how the staff of the Dubai-based air carrier mistreated the team when they were on their way to Hyderabad after promoting the film in Dubai. "Flying to Hyderabad on @emirates EK526.

Airline staff at gate B4 were very rude and harassed our team unnecessarily! Bad attitude and service! "I think one of the @emirates staff was being racist... I fly @emirates regularly and this is the first time I have come across this kind of attitude," wrote Shobu. Shobu was accompanying director S S Rajamouli and actors Prabhas, Rana Dagubatti and Anushka Shetty for the promotion.
