A new controversy has emerged around the image of late actor-politician N T Rama Rao, with a Telugu news site blaming two senior actors, Murali Mohan and Rajendra Prasad, for providing trolls with material about NTR's eating habits. The site argues that while recent trolling linked to the film 'Korean Kanakaraju' was done in good taste, the two Padma Shri awardees have given far more ammunition to online detractors. In separate interviews, Murali Mohan claimed NTR used to eat 100 mirchi bajjis at a time and swallow a large chunk of chicken early in the morning. Rajendra Prasad also shared anecdotes about NTR's alleged unbelievable eating capacity. Murali Mohan further stated that NTR would get a lorry-load of sand delivered to his house and move it with a spade every morning as exercise. The site suggests that in trying to build a larger-than-life image of NTR, these actors may have inadvertently provided enormous material for trolls, which continues to be used online. It questions the veracity of claims such as eating 100 mirchi bajjis at a time.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The core issue is not trolling but the persistent public appetite for exaggerated anecdotes about iconic figures. NTR's legendary status in Andhra politics and cinema makes him a magnet for both reverence and ridicule. The question is whether such stories, even if well-intentioned, erode the dignity of a historical figure. The real stake is how future biographers and historians separate fact from folklore in a state where NTR's legacy still shapes electoral loyalties. Watch for whether the actors clarify or retract their statements, which could set a precedent for how living witnesses discuss public figures.
