In a heated exchange, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and actor Prakash Raj are at the center of controversy over the ghee adulteration issue linked to the Tirupati Laddoo Prasadam. The tension escalated when Prakash Raj urged Pawan Kalyan to prioritize an investigation into the Laddoo matter instead of inciting communal unrest. Pawan Kalyan responded strongly, accusing Raj of belittling Hindu sentiments. Amidst this clash, actor Karthi found himself embroiled in the drama after Pawan Kalyan criticized him for making light of the sensitive topic during a public event. When questioned humorously about wanting a laddu, Karthi acknowledged the delicacy of the issue, prompting Pawan Kalyan to emphasize the importance of respecting Sanatana Dharma in discussions. Karthi later issued an apology to Pawan Kalyan on social media, aiming to defuse the situation. This incident highlights the rift within the South Indian film industry, reflecting how deeply the Tirupati ghee controversy resonates beyond politics and into the realm of cultural sensitivities. As both actors and politicians navigate this contentious landscape, the discussion surrounding the sanctity of the Tirupati Laddoo continues to provoke strong opinions and reactions.
