Padmasri Garikapati Fires On Pushpa - Thagged Le
Garikapati frequently gives presentations on the Ramayanaa, Mahabharata, and Bhagavadgeetha, in which he glorifies the Gods as heroes and encourages people, particularly young people, to look up to them as positive examples. However, he criticised the film in which the protagonist is a smuggler, claiming that the kids are looking up to him as a leadership role.
"In pushpa, a smuggler is a rockstar. If we protest, you can claim that you'll demonstrate that the protagonist does nice things in the end or that we'll have to wait for the second part of the movie," Garikapati said, continuing, "Until you come out with the second part of the movie, the damage has already been done in society." "In the film, people glorify smuggling, and the protagonist uses the word 'Taggede Le.'" It became a spiritual phrase among the youth.
The film had an impact on the youth, who say 'Thaggede Le'. "Who is to blame for this kind of societal influence?" Garikapati enragedly inquired. "I'd like the protagonist or the filmmaker to explain the situation to me." The crime rate in society will rise as a result of the conversation. "Thaggde Le" should be used by someone like Harichandra or master Sriram, but how can a criminal say that?" Garikapati asked.
