Many of his films with director S.V. Krishna Reddy were big hits. Even today, filmmakers seek him out for special and unique roles, and he has good relations with new-generation directors.
However, recently, Rajendra Prasad's public behavior has caused concern. At S.V. Krishna Reddy's birthday celebrations, he made some harsh remarks.
He first trolled producer K. Atchi Reddy and then publicly insulted popular comedian Ali, using offensive language and calling him "Lan** Koduku." This shocked many because of Rajendra Prasad's respected image and age.

He also mentioned the prestigious NTR Award he received but spoke in a way that made the audience uncomfortable. Instead of accepting the honor gracefully, he made sarcastic comments about people there and insulted them.
This is not the first time Rajendra Prasad has spoken sharply in public. Earlier, at a Robin Hood event, he insulted cricketer David Warner and apologized after backlash.

Now, his public insult of Ali has led to heavy backlash on social media. While such language might be common in private among close friends, Rajendra Prasad should have maintained his dignity in public.
This incident was unfortunate and disappointing for many Telugu cinema fans, who are left wondering why he behaved this way. Many called this as Rajendra Prasad's chadastam at its peak.
In short, although Rajendra Prasad remains a celebrated figure in Telugu cinema, his recent harsh words have hurt his image and caused controversy. Fans and the media are waiting to see if he will explain or apologize.
