Rajendra Prasad and Brahmanandam
Rajendra Prasad, a veteran actor, is in fire again for using a swear term to refer to Brahmanandam as an old man at the Sahakutumbaanaam trailer premiere. Fans have turned to social media to criticize the actor`s speech, with some likening him to Balakrishna. This is what occurred.
During the launch of the trailer of Akhanda 2, Rajendra Prasad was asked to deliver a speech after Brahmanandam. He said, “Someone like me speaking after Padma Shri Dr Brahmanandam spoke…” The veteran comedian interrupted him and said, “What do you mean? I am your disciple even if I’m older than you.” Rajendra Prasad turned to him and said, “Kaani musali m***da koduku vi kada nuvvu. (But you are an old man).” When Brahmanandam looked surprised and asked, “Evaru? (Who?)” he backtracked and replied, “I’m talking about me.”
