A satirical video shared by filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s son Kartikeya on the mosquito problem in Hyderabad has gone viral online. In the clip, he jokes that mosquitoes have become such a menace that even shooting work is getting affected. Though humorous, the concern he highlights is serious and widely relatable.
Hyderabad is currently dealing with a severe mosquito problem across many neighbourhoods. Residents complain of sleepless nights due to constant bites. Evening walks and outdoor activities have reduced sharply. Fears of dengue, malaria, and viral fever are also growing, especially among families.
Children and elderly people are facing the worst impact of this situation. Many households are taking extra precautions, yet relief remains limited. The rise in mosquito-borne diseases has increased anxiety, with people feeling unsafe even inside their homes during peak hours.
Stagnant water, clogged drains, and irregular sanitation work in several areas are worsening the crisis. Locals feel that fogging and preventive measures are not being carried out consistently. This has added to public frustration and anger towards civic authorities.
When a public figure highlights such an issue, even through satire, it draws wider attention. It amplifies everyday concerns and pushes them into public discussion. Such moments often help speed up action and remind authorities of their responsibility toward citizens.
