Prakruti Mishra backs Manoj Mishra in Ollywood controversy

Bhubaneswar: Popular Odia actress Prakruti Mishra on Monday extended her support to Mind Game actor Manoj Mishra and urged everyone to support the later in the ongoing controversy in the Odia film industry.
She took to Instagram to share her thoughts regarding the controversty.

“The Ollywood industry has played a significant role in shaping who I am today, and I will always be grateful for its contribution. However, the recent turmoil caused by a supposed misogynist producer, Mr. Nayak, who lacks any artistic expertise, has been manipulating and mistreating all the artists, especially Manoj Dada. Manoj Dada has been a representative of our state on various platforms, contributing to the prosperity and fame of our industry. Yet, due to personal grudges, there has been a misguided attempt to ban him,” Prakruti said.

“To be direct, this producer has made no contribution to any recent releases. Individuals like him are parasites, draining common sense from those who are encouraged by his destructive ideologies, tarnishing the reputation of others. The true purpose of art is to unite everyone and bring cultures together. I am disheartened to witness this dark era in the industry. I urge my fellow artists not to support someone who belittles our own colleagues. Additionally, I implore the media to refrain from glorifying people who tarnish the image of our fraternity,” she added.

It may be noted that Prakruti Mishra recently brought casting couch allegations against producer Tutu Nayak.
