    Pawan Kalyan Takes a Stand: Responds Strongly to Prakash Raj and Industry Critics on Tirumala Laddu Controversy

    September 24, 2024

    Amidst news that the Tirumala laddu had been desecrated, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan undertook a penance. On the third day of his penance, he conducted a purification ritual at the Kanakadurga temple in Vijayawada. He personally cleaned the temple stairs, applied turmeric, and performed special rituals. Afterwards, Pawan Kalyan addressed the media and made significant remarks about actor Prakash Raj and other industry figures.

    Warning to Prakash Raj!

    Pawan Kalyan responded to a controversial tweet by Prakash Raj about the Tirumala laddu. He questioned Raj’s involvement in the matter, asking how it could be wrong to wish for no desecration in Tirupati. He rhetorically asked if he had insulted Islam or Christianity and expressed anger over the criticism of Hindu deities. “Who are you speaking for?” he pointedly asked Raj, urging that one should speak only after understanding the issue. He declared his respect for all religions and cautioned against speaking lightly about Sanatan Dharma, emphasizing that secularism is not a one-way street. Pawan expressed his respect for Prakash Raj but warned that he would not tolerate mockery of the laddu issue.

    ‘I Will Not Tolerate Mockery’

    Pawan Kalyan also made sharp comments directed at the cinema industry. He warned that industry members should speak respectfully or remain silent if they choose to comment. He warned that the public would not forgive mockery through their platforms. “The laddu is very sensitive,” he said, indirectly warning actor Karthi after a joke about the issue, cautioning him not to dare speak in such a manner again. He expressed respect for actors but sternly stated that he would not tolerate disrespect towards Sanatan Dharma and advised everyone to think a hundred times before speaking.

    ‘Sanatan Dharma is Greater Than Actors’

    Pawan Kalyan also addressed fans who strive hard to get movie tickets, reminding them that Hindus also watch movies and should speak up about the Tirumala laddu controversy. He questioned why people discuss movies for hours but remain silent on Sanatan Dharma, challenging them to take responsibility when such issues arise. He emphasized that Hinduism should be held in higher regard than mere celebrities and urged movie lovers to respect Hindu sentiments, expressing frustration over the common perception that Hindus are soft targets. “If you have no beliefs, stay at home but don’t say anything about us or preach secularism,” he asserted.

    Karthi Apologizes to Pawan

    During the ‘Satyam Sundaram’ pre-release event on Monday, actor Karthi’s comment on the Tirumala laddu issue sparked controversy. When asked about it, Karthi jokingly said, “Now is not the time to talk about laddu. It’s a sensitive topic… let’s avoid it.” Following Pawan Kalyan’s fiery response, Karthi expressed his apologies, stating, “Dear Pawan Kalyan sir, I hold deep respect for you. I apologize if my words were misunderstood. As a devout follower of Lord Venkateshwara, I always respect our traditions.”

    I will give you an answer once I’m back

    Actor Prakash Raj responded from abroad regarding the recent comments by Powerstar Pawan Kalyan. He tweeted that he is currently overseas and will respond to Pawan Kalyan’s questions after his return to India. “Mr. Pawan Kalyan, I just saw your press meet. You have misunderstood what I said. I am currently shooting abroad. I will answer all your questions after the 30th of this month when I return to India. In the meantime, please read my tweet again and try to understand,” he stated.

    What Did Prakash Raj Say?

    Amidst national uproar over the Tirumala laddu adulteration issue, actor Prakash Raj recently commented on Friday evening via X platform. Citing the incident in the state where Pawan Kalyan is Deputy Chief Minister, he urged, “Investigate and act against the culprits. Why are you instilling unnecessary fears and nationalizing this discussion? We have enough religious tensions in our country (thanks to your friends at the center) #JustAsking.” Actor Manchu Vishnu responded, emphasizing that the Tirumala laddu is not just a sacrament but a symbol of faith for millions of Hindus. He cautioned Raj to stay within his limits.
