Prakash Raj is well-known for his candid opinions on a variety of societal issues. As we all know, Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film Pathaan was highly opposed by right-wing groups because Deepika Padukone was seen wearing a saffron coloured bikini in ‘Besharam Rang’ song. They claimed that the makers allegedly offended religious sentiments. For the unversed, Pathaan is currently ruling the box office and has so far more than Rs 800 crore at the box office.
Prakash Raj calls Boycott Pathaan gang ‘idiots’
Recently, Prakash Raj attended the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters in Kerala, where he was questioned about the boycott Pathaan trend on social media. For the unversed, the Wanted star was one of the speakers at the festival, along with Sudha Murthy, Kiran Bedi and Amitav Ghosh.
He called the Boycott Pathaan gang ‘idiots’ and even took a dig at the PM Narendra Modi biopic’s poor box office collection. Let us tell you, PM Narendra Modi movie was headlined by Vivek Oberoi and it was directed by Omung Kumar.
Prakash Raj said, “They wanted to ban Pathaan. It’s going 700 crores. These idiots, who wanted to ban Pathaan, did not run Modi’s film for 30 crores. They are just barking, they don’t bite. Don’t worry. Sound pollution!” Well, the Tamil actor’s comment must have gone down well with many people. Talking about his latest films, his Tamil movie Varisu and Telugu movie Waltair Veerayya were the big hits in Kollywood and Tollywood respectively.
