Prakash Raj also expressed shock over Sudeep’s decision on Wednesday. He earlier said, “I am shocked by his move, and I did not expect him to support BJP.” Responding to Prakash Raj’s comments, Sudeep in the press meet said, “He might say what he wants to say but I respect him as a film star. I'm looking forward to his films.”

Sudeep also made it clear that he is not contesting the elections and neither is he a politician. The actor also stressed that he is not even backing a party. He said that the affection and respect for the chief minister made him take the decision. He also recalled that he stood by him during difficult times and shared a very close bond with his family.
