Renowned actor Prakash Raj, celebrated for his versatility from Kollywood to Bollywood, has once again grabbed headlines—not for his films, but for his candid views on Indian cinema. Known for bringing depth to villainous and character roles alike, Prakash Raj has carved a national identity as a distinctive actor. Over the past few years, he has frequently made news for his outspoken criticism of the central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Recently, following the Shivaji controversy, he has made headlines once again during his participation at the Kerala Literature Festival in Kozhikode.
During the event, his comments on Bollywood became a talking point. Prakash Raj remarked that Bollywood has lost touch with its roots, often abandoning the soul of its stories. While the industry may appear colorful and glamorous on the surface, he said, inside, it has become lifeless, likening Bollywood to the wax figures at Madame Tussauds. His remarks have quickly gone viral on social media, sparking intense debate online.
In contrast, Prakash Raj showered praise on South Indian cinema, highlighting how Tamil and Malayalam filmmakers are producing strong, socially relevant narratives. He noted that films like Jai Bhim and Maamannan address societal issues, caste-based struggles, and Dalit suffering with authenticity, bringing audiences closer to real stories. According to him, cinema must remain rooted in its cultural origins to truly resonate; films driven solely by glamour and commercial gains risk alienating viewers.
He criticized Bollywood for prioritizing glamour, money, looks, reels, and promotions over meaningful storytelling, which he believes has created a disconnect with audiences. His comments have now sparked widespread discussion online, with fans debating whether his criticisms stem from Bollywood neglecting authentic stories or from limited opportunities in the Hindi film industry.
Amidst these discussions, Prakash Raj also grabbed attention with a viral photograph alongside astronaut Sunita Williams, highlighting his presence on the global stage.
On the professional front, Prakash Raj continues to impress audiences with his powerful roles in films like Varanasi, Spirit, Gudhachari 2, Decoy, Father, and Miracle. Notably, his upcoming projects include a mix of Pan-World and Pan-India films, further cementing his position as a versatile and globally recognized actor.
