Prudhvi Raj’s Comments at Laila Event Spark Political Controversy!
The makers of Vishwak Sen’s upcoming film, Laila, hosted a grand promotional event in Hyderabad last night, with Megastar Chiranjeevi gracing the occasion as the chief guest. The event saw the presence of the film’s lead actors and crew, setting the stage for an exciting pre-release buzz.
However, the event took an unexpected turn when veteran Telugu actor Prudhvi Raj made a controversial political remark on stage. While addressing the audience, Prudhvi cited a reference from the film, which seemingly carried a political undertone. He stated, “There was a time during filming when I saw 150 goats in one place, but by the end of the shoot, only 11 remained.”
This statement quickly sparked outrage among YSR Congress supporters, who perceived it as a direct reference to their party’s decline from 150 seats to 11 in the recent Andhra Pradesh elections. Following the incident, YSR Congress-affiliated social media groups called for a boycott of Laila, creating a wave of controversy around the film.
In response, the film’s production team has decided to hold a press conference this afternoon to clarify their stance and address the growing backlash. The team is expected to issue a statement distancing the film from any political affiliations, as they aim to prevent further damage to the film’s prospects. The press meet, scheduled for 2 PM, is anticipated to provide clarity on issue and offer potential damage control measures from the production side.
