Prakash Raj Controversies

This is not the first time that the actor landed into trouble for speaking his mind. Recently, Prakash Raj was in the news for his controversial remarks on "cinema mafia" and how things have changed after the rise of content on OTT platforms. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Prakash said, "Cinema is a language, the most recent human language. It was like a river and it flowed but people stopped it. They put conditions on it that you should show it only in theatres and began thinking writing was only about two-and-a-half hour stories. Everybody had been stopping things like you can't release it on TV first etc. But once the pandemic stopped this mafia, people had to go and this content came out."
