Netaji’s Great-Grandson Demands Apology & Teaser Removal from Prabhas’ ‘Fauji’ Over Historical Distortion…

Bollywood, Controversy, Entertainment, South Cinema, Treaser, Trending News | October 27, 2026

The introduction teaser (glimpse) of South Indian superstar Prabhas’ upcoming film “Fauji” has sparked controversy upon its release. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s great-grandson, Chandra Kumar Bose, has demanded a public apology from the film’s makers and director Hanu Raghavapudi and the immediate removal of the teaser. He alleges that the film seriously distorts history and insults a great national icon to glorify a fictional character. The teaser begins in 1942 Berlin, depicting the meeting between Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and German dictator Adolf Hitler. The video shows Netaji introducing and praising Prabhas’s fictional character to Hitler. The family claims that the scene gives excessive importance to Prabhas’s fictional character, making the role of a great figure like Netaji appear trivial and a sidekick. Chandra Kumar Bose stated that directors have complete freedom to make films about the freedom struggle, but they have no right to distort history into fabricated stories. He described such misrepresentations of national heroes as a crime. According to the Bose family, Netaji met Hitler to garner support for India’s independence movement. He met Hitler not as a subordinate, but as a political leader of equal stature. The film portrays this meeting in a very casual manner, ignoring its historical context and dignity. The Bose family also clarified that asking for German help did not imply that Netaji was a supporter of fascism. He believed in democracy and was strongly against fascism. Showing this scene without proper context in the film is an insult to the country’s freedom struggle. Netaji’s great-grandson, Chandra Kumar Bose, shared a post on the social media platform X, urging Prabhas to address the issue to prevent the distortion of history. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the period war-action film is scheduled to release in theaters on March 19, 2027. Currently, there has been no official response from the film’s makers or the production house, Maitri Movie Makers, on the controversy.

Yash’s Mother’s Strong Response ‘Not a Terrorist, He’s a Bus Driver’s Son’ to Allu Arvind’s ‘Before KGF’ Remark

Bollywood, Entertainment, South Cinema | August 31, 2026

Yash’s much-awaited film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups hit theatres on August 26 and has been making headlines for both its box-office performance and controversial content. While the film received mixed reactions from audiences and critics, a fresh controversy has now emerged after Yash’s mother, Pushpa Arun Kumar, appeared to take a subtle dig at veteran producer Allu Aravind’s earlier comment questioning, “Who was Yash before KGF?” Speaking at a recent press meet, Yash’s mother strongly defended her son and highlighted his journey in the film industry. She pointed out that Yash had already delivered five consecutive hits before KGF. She also stressed that he came from a humble background and built his career through his own hard work. Calling him “the son of a bus driver,” she said she was proud of everything he had achieved. The remark traces back to 2023, when Allu Aravind, father of actor Allu Arjun, discussed the success of the KGF franchise and questioned Yash’s identity and popularity before the film series. He also credited the film’s massive scale and production value for a significant part of its success. The old comment resurfaced recently after Yash addressed it during an appearance on Aap Ki Adalat with Rajat Sharma. Responding to the question, Yash said that the success of a film cannot be credited to just one person. He acknowledged the contribution of producers, writers, supporting actors and the entire team, while also noting that the lead actor has the responsibility of carrying the vision created for him. Yash also praised audiences for recognising quality content and strong performances. Meanwhile, Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas and produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash, features Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth. The film, made in Kannada and English and dubbed into multiple Indian languages, has generated considerable discussion online. After five days, Toxic reportedly crossed the ₹200-crore mark in India, with its net collection standing at around ₹214 crore and worldwide gross at approximately ₹255.95 crore.
