Senior actor Rajendra Prasad has been making headlines frequently in recent months, not because of his films but because of his controversial statements. At several public events like pre-release functions of Robinhood and Mass Jathara, his comments have led to strong criticism on social media.
Many people feel his choice of words and manner of speaking have become vulgar and distasteful, and he has faced trolling multiple times. Recently, a similar incident took place again, which brought him back into public discussion.
Rajendra Prasad attended the recent pre-release event of the film Sahakutumbaanaam along with veteran comedian Brahmanandam. After Padma Shri awardee Brahmanandam finished speaking at the event, Rajendra Prasad took the microphone and began his speech. While talking, he mentioned that he felt honored to speak after a respected actor like Dr. Brahmanandam.
At that moment, Brahmanandam playfully replied that no matter who speaks, they are all Rajendra Prasad’s students. Instead of responding politely, Rajendra Prasad used offensive words (నువ్వు ముసలి ము** కొడుకు) jokingly. He tried to cover it up by saying he meant it for himself, but the comment was already recorded.
The video quickly went viral across social media platforms, and many people expressed anger and disappointment. Several fans questioned why the actor, once known for respectful and dignified public speaking, has started using such filthy language. Some asked whether it was appropriate to speak like that about a fellow senior actor, especially someone as respected as Brahmanandam.
Many also recalled that Rajendra Prasad had already promised in an earlier interview that he would stop using offensive language in public. However, his recent comments proved otherwise, and heavy trolling resurfaced.
Rajendra Prasad has been part of the Telugu film industry for several decades and has acted in hundreds of films. He has earned a strong fan base with his performances and is currently active in supporting roles. Unfortunately, instead of his work, his controversial comments are drawing more attention. Let’s hope he becomes more careful to protect his long-standing reputation.
