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.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Prakash Raj quote-tweets viral post<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>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, \u201cSigns of obligations are spreading to South too\u2026 #just asking.\u201d His statement clearly hints that he believes such praises may not be completely genuine. In another post, he shared a video with the caption, \u201cMe bahut door (very far away) from Dhurandhar.

The family of Major Mohit Sharma (Ashoka Chakra) previously raised concerns that the Dhurandhar franchise borrowed heavily from the martyr&#8217;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&#8217;s statement suggests that these high-profile endorsements from the South are not necessarily organic but are &#8220;obligatory&#8221; nods to the establishment or the massive industry machinery backing the film.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source timesofindia.indiatimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran actor Prakash Raj has questioned the genuine praise for &#8216;Dhurandhar: The Revenge&#8217; from South stars like Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu, calling it &#8216;signs of obligations.&#8217; While the film, starring Ranveer Singh, is performing well commercially despite mixed reviews, Raj suggests these endorsements might not be entirely organic, hinting at industry pressures or backing.
