Amid the ongoing Kerala Story 2 controversy, Prakash Raj has indirectly replied to Kamakhya Narayan Singh after the director called him "intellectually bankrupt."
The Kerala Story 2 controversy has intensified after Prakash Raj indirectly responded to Kamakhya Narayan Singh, following the director publicly calling him "intellectually bankrupt."
Taking to his social media accounts, Prakash Raj on Monday shared a list featuring dietary preferences. It ranged from vegans and vegetarians to various non-vegetarian categories. The image also had a message in the end, saying, "Let’s all continue to live as a society together in harmony."
The actor captioned the post, "Why Complicate when it is so Simple," while Raj did not take any names. Netizens interpreted it as a response to the ongoing backlash around Kerala Story 2.
Earlier, he had called out the film by sharing images of Kerala cuisine, including pork, beef, fish, and a vegetarian sadya. His post read, "The real #KeralaStory is how pork, beef and fish coexist with vegetarian sadya and all of them live in harmony. Please relish #justasking happy Sunday everyone."

Prakash Raj's latest post comes after the director criticized the actor during a conversation with ANI. "I used to think that Prakash Raj ji was a very high-calibre actor, but now I feel that he is equally low as a human being," he said, sharing his disappointment. "I don’t know what he himself eats, nor do I care, because his statements reflect what he ‘consumes.’ But tell me- is it true that our daughters are being forcefully fed beef and converted? And if that is true, then I question Prakash Raj ji’s conscience. This can never be acceptable. The civilized society of India will never accept forcing someone to eat beef in order to convert their religion. He has become intellectually bankrupt."
Just like the original Kerala Story, this film has also sparked discussions. Featuring Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha in the lead roles, it is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is slated to hit theatres on February 27.
