People furious with the insults on Rajamouli in Comedy Nights with Kapil.Devara's Kapil Sharma Show Appearance Sparks Controversy Over Rajamouli Spoof.
The popular Hindi comedy show "Kapil Sharma Show" has once again stirred controversy, this time with a spoof targeting renowned Telugu filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli during a promotional appearance by the cast of "Devara."
While the show is known for its comedic sketches and parodies of celebrities, including superstars like Salman Khan, the spoof involving Rajamouli has ignited anger among Telugu audiences, who view him as a national pride.
During the segment, comedian Varun Grover took on the role of "Rajagoli," a satirical version of Rajamouli, mocking his mannerisms and Hindi-speaking skills. The use of green screens and VFX in films was also targeted, with Jr. NTR laughing along comfortably in certain scenes.
While comedy often involves satire and exaggeration, many viewers have expressed concern that the spoof crossed the line, potentially hurting sentiments. Some argue that comedy should aim to entertain without offending, while others point out that the show's humor is often based on insults.
The episode, which is available on Netflix, has become a hot topic on social media, with many expressing their displeasure over the way Rajamouli was portrayed. This incident underscores the delicate balance between comedic satire and potentially offensive humor, particularly when it involves individuals who hold a special place in the hearts of a specific community.
