Actor Karthi apologises after Pawan Kalyan blasts him for comment on Tirupati laddu

Pawan started his note by writing that he appreciated Karthi’s ‘swift response’ as well as the ‘respect shown towards shared traditions’. He added, “Matters concerning our sacred institutions, like Tirupati and its revered laddus, carry deep emotional weight for millions of devotees, and it’s essential for all of us to handle such topics with care.”

Pawan also wrote that while he understood the comment was made unintentionally, as public figures, they need to be wary of what they say. “That said, I wanted to bring this to your notice with no intentions behind it, and I understand the situation was unintentional. Our responsibility as public figures is to foster unity and respect, especially regarding what we cherish most—our culture and spiritual values. Let's always strive to uplift these values while continuing to inspire through cinema.”

He ended the note by ‘expressing his admiration’ for Karthi as a ‘remarkable actor’ whose ‘dedication and talent have consistently enriched our cinema.” He also wished Suriya, Jyotika and the whole team of Meiyazhagan, which is releasing in Telugu as Sathyam Sundaram, good luck.
