Versatile actor and national award winner Prakash Raj essayed many interesting roles in his career. Of late, he is focusing completely on charity activities and is signing only selective films. He has been quite active on Twitter and revealing his political views upright.
However, his recent slamming of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the latter’s silence on senior lady journalist Gauri Lankesh’s murder case has given rise to a new discussion. Though he made some confusing statements on award-wapsi, it looks like the talented actor want to venture into politics very soon.
Sources informed that Prakash Raj is quite interested to enter mainstream politics, but confused about the place he should begin his journey. Though he was born in Karnataka, the actor has not been active in the state’s films or politics. While he directed some Kannada films, that doesn’t make him a popular filmmaker over there. But he’s local boy in both Telugu and Tamil film arena for the kind of language fluency he has and the number of films he did. And he has also adopted Kondareddipalle village in Mahabubnagar District located in Telangana, which may make him more dearer towards Telugu politics.
With Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth already gearing up for political entry in Tamilnadu, Prakash Raj may test his luck in Telugu states, feels some analysts. But now that he has raked up Gauri Lankesh’s death issue, he may pick “Namma Kannada” sentiment as well. We have to wait and see for the actor’s official announcement.
