For the untold, at a recent event, Karthi made headlines as he tagged the Tirupati Laddu controversy as a 'sensitive issue' and avoided commenting on the same. Speaking at a public event in Hyderabad on September 23, the Kaithi actor said, "We should not talk about laddu now, it's a sensitive topic (loosely translated)."
Following this, Pawan Kalyan issued a strong warning for him and other actors while addressing the media in Vijayawada on Tuesday (September 24).
The Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh expressed his displeasure over Karthi's comments on the laddu and said, “Yesterday, at a film event, they made fun of the Tirumala Laddu. This is my appeal to them. You must think 100 times before speaking about the Tirumala Laddu. This is not a funny topic. I respect you as actors but you must stop making such comments against Sanathana Dharma.” Further, he also urged people to not make light of the issue, especially while speaking on public platforms.
Soon after Pawan Kalyan's heated response went viral, Karthi shared an apology note on his social media account. The controversy first came to the limelight when Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu accused the use of substandard ingredients, including fish oil, in preparation of Tirupati laddu prasadams during Jagan Mohan Reddy's administration. Later, lab reports also confirmed the presence of these ingredients. This led to the cancellation of contracts with companies supplying ghee to the temple.
