Rajendra Prasad’s Comment on MGR Sparks Controversy
Veteran Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad, who enjoyed massive popularity as a comedy hero during the 1980s and 1990s, continues to impress audiences today with his character roles. However, the actor has occasionally drawn criticism for his stage speeches, where he sometimes uses casual or controversial remarks while expressing his thoughts.
Recently, Rajendra Prasad sparked debate after making a comment about former Tamil superstar and political leader M. G. Ramachandran during an event. While speaking about the legendary Telugu actor Kantha Rao, he attempted to highlight the latter’s immense popularity during his prime.
While receiving the Kala Prapoorna Kantha Rao National Award 2025, Rajendra Prasad spoke about how Kantha Rao’s folklore and mythological films were highly successful at the box office and how the actor had built a strong fan following during that era. In the process, however, Rajendra Prasad made a remark suggesting that even M.G. Ramachandran felt intimidated by Kantha Rao’s craze.
The comment has reportedly upset some sections of Tamil audiences and fans of M.G. Ramachandran, who is widely regarded as an iconic figure in both Tamil cinema and politics. Many observers point out that MGR enjoys a stature in Tamil Nadu comparable to that of N. T. Rama Rao among Telugu audiences.
Following the remarks, discussions have begun on social media, with some fans expressing disappointment over the comparison. With MGR continuing to hold a strong legacy among his supporters, there is speculation that the comment could trigger criticism or trolling against Rajendra Prasad online.
