Choreographer and filmmaker Pony Verma, wife of actor and filmmaker Prakash Raj, has disclosed that his vocal political and social views have severely impacted his commercial career:
*Multiple production houses dropped Prakash Raj from upcoming film projects, in some instances backing out completely even after issuing advance payments.
*Major advertising contracts and brand assignments were pulled due to his active public stance.
- Origin of Activism: According to Pony Verma, his resolve to speak out intensified sharply following the 2017 assassination of his close friend and journalist Gauri Lankesh.
Notwithstanding extensive professional setbacks and industry pushback, Prakash Raj refuses to silence his convictions or shy away from public debate on social welfare, education, and healthcare.
