Prabhas’ fan commits suicide in Andhra Pradesh after Radhe Shyam receives unfavourable reviews

Prabhas is one of India's most popular and well-known movie stars. The 2015 S.S.Rajamouli directorial Baahubali established him as a household name. It blurred the lines between South and Bollywood films, making him a popular choice among film producers. His much anticipated film, Radhe Shyam (2022), which released on 11th March, 2022 didn’t do well at the box office and garnered mixed reviews despite heavy promotion.

Prabhas' passionate fan Ravi Teja recently committed suicide in a horrific event. He was upset, according to reports, after Radhe Shyam received negative reviews and chose to end his life. Tilak Nagar, in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district, was the scene of the event. Ravi was a 25-year-old daily-wage labourer in Kurnool, and fans of Prabhas were shocked to learn of his demise.

He allegedly informed his mother about his decision since he believed Radhe Shyam did not meet his expectations. Officials from the police department have filed a report and are now looking into the matter.

Radhe Shyam, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, took nearly three years to make and was ultimately launched in theatres on March 11 amid high anticipation. Prabhas' fans flocked to the theatres after the film's release and even held a celebration to mark the debut of their favourite actor's flick. Cut-outs and exploding figures have been constructed outside theatres all around India.

The film Radhe Shyam has received mixed reviews from critics and the general public. While everyone praised the film's grandeur, several reviewers criticised the absence of a compelling story.
