Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan praised Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre for his dedication to protecting forests. During a meeting with forest officials, Pawan Kalyan made some notable comments that are now widely shared on social media.
He pointed out that the image of a hero has changed over the years. He said that, in the past, heroes were seen as protectors of forests, but now, they are often portrayed as those who exploit and smuggle from forests. He mentioned that he dislikes being involved in films that glorify smugglers as heroes, referencing the film Gandhada Gudi which focuses on forest conservation.
Pawan Kalyan questioned whether he is sending the right message to the public and reflected on this cultural shift. Although he didn’t name any specific actors, his comments have sparked discussions online, with some seeing them as a general critique and others as a veiled criticism of certain stars.
