Reacting to the controversy, Kartiki Gonsalves stated that all the claims being made are untrue while adding that the goal behind creating the documentary was to highlight elephant conservation and the efforts of the mahouts, Bomman and Bellie as well as the efforts by the Forest Department. Highlighting that the Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin has made donations to assist 91 Mahouts and Cavadis, the director stated that winning the Academy Award has brought more recognition to the work of the tribal Mahout couple.
This comes as a shock considering the previous statement made by the mahout.
