"Amitabh Bachchan Silence is Cowardly": Prakash Raj to Barkha Dutt

Actor- Activist Prakash Raj Speaks on #KarnatakaElections to Barkha Dutt and explains why he became a critic of the BJP. "They spoke of Development; So where did the Cow Come From?" He also says he has got "no work" from Bollywood since he went public with his views and takes on mega-icon Amitabh Bachchan for his refusal to speak openly on the Kathua Rape.

[@satyamevjaiyte8291]

Prakash Raj you are a real hero.....you are very true in yr analysis....

[@anilkumarshahapur3655]

Bachan is always adjustment with people who have power. And his name is in Panama paper case which is on the Modi table now

[@varungurjar2374]

Bachhan doesn't care. He is selling oil,masala,ganji,baniyan and everything. He just wants to be safe and secure. Dont expect him to raise his voice against wrong.
