Tollywood comedian Prudhvi Raj, widely known as 30 Years Industry Prudhvi, has found himself at the center of a major political storm following his controversial speech at the pre-release event of Laila. His remarks, which mocked the political party YSRCP, ignited outrage among its supporters, leading to widespread calls for a boycott of the film. In response, the Laila team swiftly conducted a press meet, issuing an apology in an attempt to control the damage.
While many assumed the controversy had been put to rest, Prudhvi Raj refused to back down. The comedian made further remarks against YSRCP and its followers, defiantly stating that no one had the power to boycott the film. This fueled the outrage once again, with party supporters reviving the boycott trend on social media.
In a surprising turn of events, Prudhvi Raj was admitted to the hospital today due to high blood pressure. Speculation arose that this might be a sympathy-seeking move, but the actor quickly proved otherwise. Even from his hospital bed, he continued his verbal attack against the party and its members, alleging that he had been harassed with phone calls and messages. In a shocking display, he resorted to using abusive language while maintaining that he had not spoken ill of the party at the Laila event.
His behavior has drawn criticism, with many questioning why he is escalating the controversy instead of diffusing it. Rather than taking responsibility for his remarks and considering the impact on the film’s success, he appears to be fueling the fire unnecessarily. A simple apology could have resolved the issue, yet Prudhvi Raj seems determined to push his political stance beyond limits.
At the end of the day, he must recognize that he is an actor first, and unnecessary political involvement could cost him both his reputation and career. With the controversy still raging, only time will tell how this episode will impact him and the fate of Laila.
