Earlier Complaint Against Prakash Raj

Earlier this year, a criminal complaint was filed against Prakash Raj in a Tirupati court over his alleged remarks about Hindu deities and the Ramayana.

The complaint was lodged by BJP leader and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust Board member G Bhanuprakash Reddy in the court of the IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class. It is alleged that the actor made “inflammatory” remarks during the Kerala Literature Festival and other public events.

According to the complaint, Prakash Raj allegedly claimed that Lord Rama and Lakshmana travelled from North India to invade the South, which he reportedly equated with Lanka.

The complainant further alleged that the actor promoted the “Aryan-Dravidian” theory, encouraged regional divisions, and deliberately hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus. The matter remains under legal process.

The actor will next be seen in Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3, which is slated for an October 2 release.
