Garikipati Narasimha Rao is the popular name among the Telugus living across the globe. He is the most proficient Avadhani, poet and religious preacher.
He is also known for his straightforward talk on many occasions. There were many moments where he slammed lyricists, actresses and politicians either directly or indirectly.
At the same time there were instances where he lauded the actresses like Sai Pallavi who propagated values with their talk in different interviews.
He was recently awarded Padmasri for his contribution towards language and literature.
In a recent interview he slammed 'Pushpa' for propagating wrong values to the society. He criticised vehemently and demanded answers from Allu Arjun and Sukumar.
"Allu Arjun played the role of a smuggler in the film. He says 'thaggedele ' frequently. How can that dialogue be given to a smuggler? Either Harischandra or Lord Rama should say that. This is really detrimental to society as the youth get influenced by what is shown in the films. I want an answer from Allu Arjun and Sukumar", Garikipati expressed.
There were many occasions in the society where the learned men who preach values to the society lament about the content in the contemporary movies. But the makers say that they are not here to propagate values through films but only interested in making money. This is an unending saga.
