He said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi remained silent when he appealed to him to speak out when some Modi supporters celebrated the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh.
Praising the guts of the actor to speak out publically without fear, Nandy posted on his Twitter account: “I like the courage and dignity of Prakash Raaj who speaks up on issues that concern all Indians. And he speaks softly and firmly, without the slightest fear.”
