While India awaits the successful landing of the Vikram lander of Chandrayaan 3 mission, actor Prakash Raj has landed himself in yet another controversy for mocking Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) ambitious mission to the Moon. Ahead of the expected landing date on the Moon on August 23, the National Award-winning actor tweeted a picture of a cartoon depicting a man in a vest and lungi pouring tea, which he called the ‘first picture coming from the Moon’.

In his tweet on Sunday, Prakash Raj shared the cartoon and wrote, “BREAKING NEWS:- First picture coming from the Moon by #VikramLander Wowww #justasking.” This post didn’t go down well with the netizens and users started criticising him for making such a derogatory remark about Chandrayaan 3 mission.

Comedian Appurv Gupta wrote, “The problem with hate is, once you start hating someone then eventually your hate becomes so strong that you start hating everyone. You forgot the difference between the person, ideology and national achievement. Everything looks the same! Sad to see a talented actor behaving like this!”. A second comment read, “ISRO represents the best of India. It achieved greatness in spite of meagre resources & a pessimistic atmosphere. ISRO ranks among the best now, attempting what only a handful of nations have achieved. This man represents the worst of India. Hates that nation that has given him so much.”
