Prakash Raj is not taking the escalating chatter around The Kerala Story 2 quietly. Days after the actor took a dig at the film’s messaging and its Kerala-related framing, the conversation snowballed into a direct public face-off with the sequel’s director Kamakhya Narayan Singh. Now, Raj has responded again, this time with a message aimed at social harmony.
The actor’s latest post comes as The Kerala Story 2 continues to spark polarised reactions online following the release of its trailer, with the film’s themes and visuals becoming a flashpoint in the ongoing debate around the franchise.
Latest Update: Prakash Raj Answers The Director With A ‘Keep It Simple’ Post
On February 23, 2026, Prakash Raj shared a post on X featuring an image listing a range of dietary identities and preferences, ending with a call for coexistence. The image read, “vegans, vegetarians, eggetarians, non-vegetarians (who don’t eat pork), non-vegetarians (who don’t eat beef), non-vegetarians (who eat all meat), non-vegetarians (who eat only fish). Let’s all continue to live as a society together in harmony.”
Alongside it, he wrote: “Why Complicate when it is so Simple #justasking.”
The post landed after the actor’s earlier tweet, where he juxtaposed photos of pork, beef, fish and Kerala’s traditional vegetarian sadya to argue that diverse food practices coexist peacefully in the state. He had written, “The real KeralaStory is how pork, beef and fish coexist with vegetarian sadya and all of them live in harmony. Please relish #justasking happy Sunday everyone.”
What The Kerala Story 2 Director Kamakhya Narayan Singh Said About Prakash Raj
In an interaction with ANI, director Kamakhya Narayan Singh hit back strongly at Raj’s comments. Singh said, “I used to think that Prakash Raj ji was a very high-calibre actor, but now I feel that he is equally low as a human being.”
He also added, “But tell me, is it true that our daughters are being forcefully fed beef and converted? And if that is true, then I question Prakash Raj ji’s conscience… He has become intellectually bankrupt,” as quoted by ANI.
The exchange has kept The Kerala Story 2 firmly in the headlines as the makers continue to defend the film’s intent ahead of its release.
