Actor Prakash Raj made headlines on Monday after he allegedly trolled ex-ISRO chief K Sivan ahead of the Chandrayaan-3 landing. The Singham actor was criticised by netizens for his post which featured a caricature of Sivan pouring tea.

Along with the caption, he wrote on X (formerly called Twitter), "BREAKING NEWS:- First picture coming from the Moon by #VikramLander Wowww #justasking."

I was referring to a joke of #Armstrong times .. celebrating our kerala Chaiwala .. which Chaiwala did the TROLLS see ?? .. if you dont get a joke then the joke is on you .. GROW UP #justasking"
