Bandla Ganesh responded with a personal attack on Prakash Raj, questioning his nativity and accusing him of commenting on every public issue unnecessarily. “Are you a Tamilian, a Telugu or a Kannadiga? Are you a Collector or a Prime Minister to intervene in every issue? Know your own address before trying to change the world,” he said.

He also suggested that the actor should focus on his own life instead of trying to judge every political development.
