One of the veteran Indian Telugu Avadhani & Padma Shri award recipients Garikapati Narasimha Rao, the narrative of a red sander smuggler in 'Pushpa: The Rise' does not appear to have gone down well. On social media, a short video of him questioning the motivation behind films like 'Pushpa,' which portrays a red sander smuggler as a hero, went viral.

He expressed his displeasure with recent films that glorify criminals. "Making a smuggler the hero of a movie sends the wrong message to society." When questioned, you may respond that you'll show the excellent part for a few minutes at the climax or somewhere in the following part 2, but by the time you come up with a good-intentional tale segment, the harm will have already been done to society," he added. He also demanded an explanation from Allu Arjun and director Sukumar for the film's portrayal of a smuggler as a hero.

అది నాకు తెలుసులే గాని.. మీకేం ఏం కావాలో చెప్పండి సార్.. వాడుకుంటున్నారు వదిలేస్తున్నారు అంటున్నారు కదా.. https://t.co/8qKIB6Fakc pic.twitter.com/KykRFwJ4Qm

He cheekily described how the dialogue in the film 'Thaggede Le' has turned into an adage proverb. "'Thaggade Le,' says a smuggler. It has an impact on the youth. I'm angry because it has a negative impact on society. I'd want to hear from the hero or the director. Who needs to mention Thaggade Le? He questioned out, "How can a smuggler say Thaggede Le if someone like King Harishchandra or Lord Srirama uses it?"
