Prakash Raj Criticises Bollywood: Prakash Raj, the seasoned actor who never hesitates to voice his opinion. He has raised eye brow among the movie fraternity once again. In an interview, he severely criticized Bollywood for avoiding political issues. Noting that the majority of actors keep quiet because they are either afraid or because there is a personal interest involved. His comment comes amid increasing controversy regarding the intersection of cinema, activism, and freedom of speech in the film industry.
Prakash Raj noticed how a lot of Bollywood actors and filmmakers refuse to make political statements. Or there will be a backlash or harm to their career. He ranted in frustration about the half of the industry being “sold” and bullied and suggesting that the majority sell their conscience for the security of their career.
Prakash also maintained in his interview that filmmakers can be permitted to create movies against society and political ideology. As per him, movies can initiate the debate and make others think, prompting filmmakers to speak their minds in this manner rather than remaining silent amidst social and political turmoil.
Prakash Raj also spoke of the professional fallouts for directors. And actors who go ahead and voice their opinions about their beliefs. He conceded that they might lose their jobs or get boycotted but that fear leading to silence only helps in silencing freedom of speech. He gave an example from his life to say that his firmness has cost him a job. But made him a better person to speak what he believes.
Despite the failures, Prakash Raj is adamant on the requirement for filmmakers to be prepared to fight for material that matters. He desires that history, when recorded, not just recall the perpetrators but the taciturn too. A critique on the way artists form culture and opinion.

Prakash Raj’s comments once again stoked controversy around Bollywood’s involvement in political narratives. His call for free-wheeling narration and social engagement is a challenge to the industry to re-evaluate its role on activism and taking a stance on emotive issues. While some would join him and others wouldn’t. The argument is a reflection of the evolving dynamics between politics and film-based sensitization in the country.
