Prakash Raj’s comments at the Kerala Literature Festival have once again landed him in the eye of a storm, as the acclaimed actor faces severe backlash for remarks many believe target the Hindu community. Known for his bold opinions and a track record of triggering public debate, Prakash Raj’s recent statements about the Ramayana have drawn widespread criticism and legal action.
The controversy unfolded after a video of his festival speech went viral. In the clip, Prakash Raj reportedly described Lord Rama and Lakshmana as migrant workers from North India who, according to him, took fruits from a South Indian field owned by Ravana, whom he portrayed as a tribal leader. He further suggested a ₹2000 GST bill sparked the legendary conflict. These remarks, perceived as mocking religious beliefs and distorting mythology, have infuriated many, with several social media users accusing the actor of deliberately fueling a North-South divide and disrespecting Hindu sentiments.
A criminal case has reportedly been filed against Prakash Raj, following a surge of online outrage and calls for accountability. This is not the first instance where the actor’s outspoken political and social commentary has drawn fire; he has often been accused of persistently targeting Hindu beliefs, as seen in previous controversies.
With the incident still trending and debate growing over celebrity responsibility, all eyes are now on how Prakash Raj and legal authorities will respond to the mounting public anger.
