Prakash Raj was embroiled in a controversy for slapping a man for speaking Hindi in the recently published Jai Bhim. Many felt that the scene was directed against Hindi-speaking people. Now Prakash Raj has reacted to the controversy in a recent interview with a news portal. He said that those who have a problem with the scene in Jai Bhim have revealed their plans.
PRAKASH RAJ RESPONSES TO JAI BHIM STRIKE CONTROVERSE
A few days earlier, Prakash Raj was called for slapping a man for speaking Hindi in the film. However, a large section of the people supported the actor, saying that the particular scene was misunderstood. Now Prakash Raj has opened up to the ongoing controversy.
Speaking to News9live, Prakash Raj said, “After watching a movie like Jai Bhim, they didn’t see the torment of the tribal people, they didn’t see or feel terrible about the injustice, they just saw the slap in the face. That’s all they understood; this reveals their agenda. However, certain things have to be documented. “
He explained the particular scene, adding, “For example, the anger of the South Indians in Hindi that is being forced upon them. How else will a police officer investigating a case react knowing that a person who speaks the local language is choosing to speak? in Hindi to avoid questioning? That has to be documented, right? The film is set in the 1990s. If that character had forced Hindi on him, that’s the only way he would have responded. Probably, if it would have come across more intensely, it is also because that is also my thought and I stand by this thought. “
Prakash Raj also found it pointless to respond to such controversies. “For some, the slap in the face irritated because Prakash Raj was on the screen. They now appear more naked than me because their intent has been revealed. If the tribal people’s pain has not moved them, then I just say: Unakku avvalavuthaan purinjudhaa da, nee thaana avan? (Do you understand all of this? Are you that person?) There is no point in responding to such fanatics, “he shared.
