Controversy and Clarification

Previously, Prakash Raj stirred controversy when he shared a cartoon on Twitter that humorously referred to a tea seller in the context of the moon mission. He captioned the post with, "BREAKING NEWS:- First picture coming from the Moon by #VikramLander Wowww #justasking." This post led to trolling and criticism.

In response, Prakash Raj clarified that his intention was not to offend but to make a reference to a joke from the time of astronaut Armstrong, celebrating a chaiwala (tea seller) from Kerala. He emphasized that if the humor wasn't understood, it was a misunderstanding on the part of the audience.

Several prominent figures in the film industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Rajinikanth, SS Rajamouli, Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, and Hrithik Roshan, joined in celebrating the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. ISRO, in announcing the mission's success, tweeted, "Chandrayaan-3 Mission: ‘India, I reached my destination and you too!’”
