Class of 80’s hosted by Megastar Chiranjeevi, went on as expected with a full-on entertainment and amusement. As reported earlier, almost all the superstars of 1980s were present at Chiru’s newly renovated and awesomely decorated residence in Hyderabad. We saw bigwigs like Victory Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Jagapathi Babu, Ramesh Aravind, Suman, Jayaram, Khushbu Sundar, Jackie Shroff, Ambika, Menaka, Radha and a few others from Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam film industries.
The fans were excited to see their favourite celebrities pictures all over on the internet too. But, the famous actor and director Prathap Pothen expressed his disappointment and dissatisfaction in not receiving any invitation for the reunion. Stating that Megastar Chiranjeevi failed to invite him for the party, he updated it on his Facebook timeline – “I’m a Persona Non Grata with the 80’s stars nayybe i am a bad actor and director …so they didnt invite me to their get together i am sad 🙁 what can one say ….only that my career in films ment nothing ….well some may like you some hate you …but life goess on.”
His friends and fans on Facebook commented on the post saying that he is a beloved actor and the world cannot take his talent. One user wrote, “You are of a different class than them”. Pratap Pothen was a famous actor in Tamil, Telugu films and he was seen in Aakali Rajyam and Chukkallo Chandrudu to name a few in Telugu. He also directed quite a few films in Telugu.
While celebrities like Radhika and Mohanlal, who attended the reunion posted their joyous experience at the gathering on their Twitter handles, Pratap Pothen expressed his disappointment. He also later satirically posted a video update of him with a caption “I was sleeping in the 80s”.
