While fans are eagerly waiting for SS Rajamouli's Baahubali (Bahubali) 2: The Conclusion, the team was harassed at Dubai airport. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda took to his Twitter handle and accused Emirates of racism.
"Flying to Hyd on @emirates EK526. Airline staff at gate B4 were very rude n harassed our team unnecessarily! Bad attitude n service!" Shobu tweeted. Recently, the Baahubali team including Rajamouli, Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Shobu were in Dubai to promote their magnum opus.
When the team was returning to Hyderabad, Shobu claimed that his team faced unfair treatment by one of the Emirates staffs. The producer of the film tweeted about the incident from the airport itself saying that one of the Emirates staff was being racist.
However, the customer support service of the airline replied to the tweet, saying: "Hi Shobu, we're sorry to hear this. Please share your booking reference via DM, so we can look into this."
Check out the series of tweets by the producer:
