The controversy surrounding the Tirumala Laddu adulteration has sparked a heated exchange between Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and noted actor Prakash Raj. Their ongoing public spat has escalated after Prakash Raj made a series of sarcastic remarks misrepresenting Pawan Kalyan’s comments on *Sanatana Dharma*. In his latest move, Prakash Raj once again mocked the political leader during an interview, likening him to a “football” in politics, suggesting he is easily manipulated by others.
Prakash Raj’s statement, “Pawan Kalyan is like a football in politics. Someone uses him,” implied that the actor-turned-politician is being swayed by political forces around him. He went on to downplay Pawan’s stance on *Sanatana Dharma* and Hinduism, arguing that these religious beliefs are not under any threat. Instead, he claimed, “Only BJP is in trouble.” Furthermore, Prakash Raj took a swipe at Pawan Kalyan’s political inconsistency, stating that while Pawan successfully portrays various characters in films, politics requires a stable and grounded approach.
This is not the first time Prakash Raj has criticized Pawan Kalyan. Earlier, when Pawan Kalyan tweeted a reference to the late Tamil leader M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), Prakash Raj quickly responded with a sharp satire, questioning the true intent behind Pawan’s admiration for MGR. He tweeted, “Unnattundi how much love for MGR.. have you received orders from above.. just asking,” implying that Pawan’s comments were politically motivated.
As the war of words continues, the feud between Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj has become a point of intense debate, particularly among their respective supporters. Both figures, well-known in the film industry, have taken their rivalry to the political stage, and the public is eagerly watching to see how the confrontation develops in the days to come.
