Ever since star character artiste Prakash Raj announced that he is in the race for MAA President post, there has been a criticism about his so-called ‘non-local’ identity. Needless to say, this criticism is unwanted, especially against an actor who has been at Tollywood’s service for the last 23 years.

And during a recent media interaction as Prakash Raj introduced his panel, actor-producer Bandla Ganesh made some striking comments against the criticism on Prakash Raj’s non-local status. “Prabhas is born here, but he is ruling India now. Hollywood is asking Rajamouli to make movies there. What is this local and non-local debate? We are all one and we all belong to MAA,” Ganesh said.

Bandla Ganesh also said that Prakash Raj had adopted Kondareddipalle village and became a god to the villagers. He went on to reveal how Prakash Raj sheltered hundreds of homeless migrant labourers for nearly 3 months during the lockdown last year. Ganesh concluded saying that MAA will prosper if Prakash Raj becomes the President.
