Versatile actor Prakash Raj, known for his stellar performances and frequent controversies, is facing severe backlash over his Prakash Raj Ramayana remarks at the Kerala Literature Festival. A criminal case has now reportedly been filed against the actor following widespread outrage.
Viral Speech Sparks Outrage
A video of Prakash Raj speaking at the Kerala Literature Festival has gone viral on social media, triggering a massive controversy. In the speech, the actor made remarks about the Ramayana that many have condemned as disrespectful to Hindu beliefs.
During his speech, Prakash Raj reportedly referred to Lord Rama and Lakshmana as migrant workers from North India. He went on to say they entered a field in South India and stole fruits, which led to a confrontation with the field’s owner, Ravana.
He further described Ravana as a tribal man from South India and claimed that what started as a dispute over stolen fruits escalated into a bigger controversy. He even joked that it revolved around a ₹2000 GST bill, which later led to a war.
Public Backlash and Criminal Case
The video clip has now gone viral online, drawing severe criticism from several sections of the public. Many netizens and members of the Hindu community have expressed outrage over the actor’s comments.
Several people are demanding strict legal action against Prakash Raj, accusing him of mocking Hindu beliefs and disrespecting the Ramayana. Some social media users have also alleged that his comments were aimed at creating a divide between North and South Indian states.
The controversy has taken a serious turn, with a criminal case reportedly being filed against the actor. This is not the first time the actor has found himself at the center of public controversy—Prakash Raj is known for his outspoken views on social and political issues.
