There is no need to introduce Prakash Raj. The actor, director, and producer have established himself in both the South Indian and Bollywood cinema industries. Prakash Raj, a three-time National Award winner, has inscribed his name in gold in the annals of motion picture history.
He is one of the most adored villains of the modern age, given the current state of Bollywood, where Hindi films have witnessed rapid expansion in recent years. He appears to have taken it upon himself to re-imagine what it means to be a “villain” or “antagonist” in movies.

While many people love him for his acting, other groups of people hate his outspoken nature. Prakash, who is most known for his negative characters in Bollywood, has lately drawn criticism for his left-liberal opinions on a number of topics, particularly those that are critical of the government, traditional Hindu society, and the Hindi-speaking community.
Prakash Raj has been the new target of right-wing supporters, whether it be due to his anti-BJP opinions or his exceedingly derogatory anti-Hindu remarks towards rituals and orthodox practices.
Talking about the most recent thing that happened to him, he has been the target of trolls for supporting Shahrukh Khan, and trolls tagged him as the male version of actress Swara Bhasker. He also reacted to the whole controversy now. So, let’s see what actually happened and what he said:
Prakash Raj was chastised for asking a question about Shah Rukh Khan
Prakash Raj retweeted Ashok Swain’s tweet from August 25 that questioned the ‘harassment’ of SRK’s family. Swain is an Indian-origin man residing in Sweden and is well-known for his anti-Indian and anti-Hindu views. The tweet from Swain includes SRK’s dance video with the caption,

“How could they put him and his family go through such harassment and trauma when he has been for decades giving the country love and joy!”
In his tweet, Prakash Raj wrote,

His tweet prompted lots of divided views from the various parties. While many people are supporting him for asking a question about SRK and his son’s legal battle in a narcotics case, there are many people who were triggered by this tweet. People mercilessly trolled him for publishing this tweet.
When compared to Swara Bhaskar, Prakash Raj gives a perfect response
When all this was happening, one user commented on his post, saying,
“prakacha has tweeted, whether it is visible to you or not that tweet is not worth of a cent also, he is the male version of @ReallySwara”

Without wasting any time, Prakash Raj strongly reacted to it. He quoted his comment and wrote the caption, saying,
“I am HONOURED to be called as the male version of @ReallySwara … who’s version are you #justasking”

Within minutes, his tweet went viral and people praised him for his out-of-the-box reply. This tweet even attracts actress Swara Bhasker’s attention. Quoting the tweet, she wrote,

Let me mention that Swara Bhasker, like Prakash Raj, is well known for speaking up on social concerns online. She is also a well-known critic of India’s current ruling party. That’s why she has also been constantly targeted by right-wing people or pro-government people.
