Prakash Raj has waded into the battle, taking aim at Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and Jr NTR over their enthusiastic endorsements of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge.’ The film, featuring Ranveer Singh, has enjoyed a robust opening at the box office, though it has met with mixed reviews. While many celebrities have praised the film, Prakash Raj chose to take a different stand and question the trend of such public support. His comments have once again sparked discussion across social media.
Prakash Raj quote-tweets viral post
In one of his X (formerly Twitter) posts, Prakash Raj reacted to a message highlighting how actors like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR, Vijay Deverakonda, and Ram Charan praised the film. He quote-tweeted the post and wrote, “Signs of obligations are spreading to South too… #just asking.” His statement clearly hints that he believes such praises may not be completely genuine. In another post, he shared a video with the caption, “Me bahut door (very far away) from Dhurandhar. Are you (sic)?” indirectly distancing himself from the film and its reception.
Prakash Raj questions the trend
Actors like Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun had earlier praised ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge.’ Mahesh Babu called the movie “an explosion executed with perfect precision,” while Allu Arjun described it as “an Indian story with international swag.” These accolades likely stoked the flames of anticipation. However, Prakash Raj suggested that the buzz might stem from something other than positive reviews.
Controversies around ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’
‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has not lacked controversy, certain factions object to its political overtones. The family of Major Mohit Sharma (Ashoka Chakra) previously raised concerns that the Dhurandhar franchise borrowed heavily from the martyr’s life and covert missions without official permission. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) eventually clarified that the film is a work of fiction, though the inspiration debate continues to linger publicly. Prakash Raj’s statement suggests that these high-profile endorsements from the South are not necessarily organic but are “obligatory” nods to the establishment or the massive industry machinery backing the film.
