Narashima Rao recently spoke in an interview with a leading news channel about the controversy surrounding Tamil film 'Mersal' that has scenes critical of the GST and the Digital India initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and made the very hateful comment to which Farhan reacted on Twitter. Narashima criticised the movie and its makers in the TV interview, and said: “In any case, most of our film stars have very low IQ, very low general knowledge.”

'Mersal', Tamil actor Vijay’s Diwali release, is in the news after the Tamil Nadu unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded the removal of specific dialogues which take a dig at GST and digital India.
