Who would have thought that an harmless, onoffensive banter could spark a controversy? A witty tweet from Mahindra Group Chairperson Anand Mahindra, a social media buff took Twitter by storm.

A fan shared a video clip from Balayya's latest film Jaisimha showing the actor performing a gravity defying stunt lifting a Mahindra Bolero with one hand. The fan told Anand that Balayya had popularised Bolero in his movie after which the vehicle was trending in the Telugu states.
@anandmahindra, Sir, this is worth to be in your collection. Pls do watch this. #Bolero is literally trending in Telugu Speaking states. pic.twitter.com/K2nyJ6SYM7

Anand Mahindra decided to give a witty reply and said thus...
Haha. Now all our service workshops won’t need any hydraulic lifts anymore to do Bolero check-ups!! https://t.co/WiS6hcpT2h

However, little did he expect to receive a backlash for his response. What followed was the ire of Balayya fans asking him to apologise. Have a look at the reactions on Twitter.
Sir, I think you should concentrate on designing atleast better looking cars first.
