The controversy over the adulteration of Tirumala Laddu has caused a huge stir in Andhra Pradesh. As part of his atonement ritual, Pawan Kalyan conducted purification ceremonies at Vijayawada Kanaka Durga temple yesterday (September 24). He later spoke to the media and criticized actor Karthi and also targeted Prakash Raj harshly. In response, Karthi apologized to Pawan Kalyan through a tweet on X. Pawan Kalyan also responded on the platform, saying that he understood Karthi’s intentions. However, rumors are circulating online that Pawan did not write this post himself and that AI was used to generate his reply to Karthi.
Pawan’s AI Post?
It is known that Pawan Kalyan expressed his displeasure towards Karthi’s comments on the Tirumala Laddu controversy. Recently, Pawan posted on X, addressing Karthi, appreciating his quick response respecting the traditions. Pawan mentioned that he understood that Karthi did not intend to offend anyone. However, it is being rumored on the internet that these words were not penned by Pawan himself. Critics are claiming that Pawan used AI tools like ChatGPT to generate this tweet. Some are questioning why Pawan would act this way regarding an actor like Karthi, while others are asking if he doesn’t have the time to write his own posts.
Is Using ‘AI’ Wrong?
An AI detector analysis of Pawan’s post confirms that AI was indeed used. However, this is not considered wrong. Today, celebrities and politicians frequently use AI-generated content to refine their messages. They often write down their thoughts and then use AI tools to correct errors, ensuring their posts are free of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Given that their posts influence millions, they take precautions to avoid mistakes. It is possible that Pawan used an AI tool to ensure clarity in his response regarding Karthi. Furthermore, some celebrities don’t manage their own Twitter handles and hire someone for this purpose. Hence, film circles believe that there is no need to overanalyze Pawan’s AI-generated tweet.
What Did Karthi Do Wrong?
At the pre-release event of ‘Sathyam Sundaram’ on Monday, Karthi’s response to the Tirumala Laddu issue sparked controversy. When the anchor mentioned the Laddu, Karthi humorously said, “Let’s not talk about the Laddu now. It’s a sensitive topic… not for us.” Following Pawan’s criticism, Karthi responded on X, stating, “Dear Pawan Kalyan Sir, I have immense respect for you. I apologize if there was any unintended misunderstanding in my words. As a humble devotee of Lord Venkateswara, I always respect our traditions.” However, netizens are defending Karthi, saying he did not speak inappropriately and only responded because the anchor brought up the topic.
Karthi and Suriya Thank Pawan!
In his post about Karthi, Pawan Kalyan also mentioned the film ‘Sathyam Sundaram.’ He conveyed his best wishes to Suriya, Jyothika, and the film’s team on the occasion of its release, hoping for more such entertaining films from 2D Entertainment. Both Karthi and Suriya responded to Pawan’s tweet, thanking him. With positive reactions from both brothers, the controversy seems to have subsided. Netizens are appreciating how Suriya and Karthi handled the situation gracefully, understanding Pawan’s concerns.
