In 2019, Prakash Raj was accused of comparing Ram Leela to child porn. In a statement, the versatile actor happened to say that Ram Leela fests are dangerous for India.

Ahead of the MAA polls, actor Vishnu Manchu has referred to the controversial remarks. "I am not angry that Prakash Raj has criticized me. When he couldn't spare Lord Ram, who am I? I am an ordinary mortal. I am not being communal. My wife is a Christian. My brother-in-law is not from our caste. Our family is not at all caste-conscious," Manchu said.

The 'Mosagallu' actor, who is a self-confessed Hindutva supporter, also raised the issue of Prakash Raj allegedly abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past. The senior actor, who has acted in multiple languages, made anti-BJPism his core politics in the 2019 General Elections.

The MAA elections are seeing a sharp contest between Prakash Raj and Vishnu. They will be held on October 10.
