The Varun Tej starrer Korean Kanakaraju released in theatres today and has started getting attention from movie lovers. Along with the film, one particular comedy character played by Muralidhar Goud has become a hot topic on social media.

Soon after the first shows, some social media users started claiming that Muralidhar Goud's look in the film is a spoof of Balakrishna's famous Akhanda character. A few posts and comments even suggested that the makers intentionally designed the role to resemble Akhanda. Because of these discussions, the getup quickly became a trending topic online.

However, this is not true. People who have watched the film say that the comedy character has no connection at all with Akhanda. The look, behaviour, comedy scenes, and story behind the character are completely different. There is not even a small reference or spoof aimed at Balakrishna or his blockbuster film.

According to viewers, the confusion started only because of a few screenshots and short video clips shared on social media without proper context. After watching the full movie, audiences say it is clear that the character was created only for entertainment and has its own identity in the story.

Many fans also believe that unnecessary fan wars are adding fuel to the discussion. They say some people are trying to create controversies around the film for social media attention. In reality, the comedy role is meant to entertain the audience and has nothing to do with any actor or movie.

Several viewers who watched Korean Kanakaraju have also posted that the character works well within the film and even becomes one of the highlighted comedy moments. They requested people not to judge the role based on a few images or edited clips circulating online.

As the discussions continue, many moviegoers are asking audiences to watch the film before believing social media claims. According to those who have seen the movie, the controversial getup is 100 percent different from Balakrishna's Akhanda, and the comparisons being made online are completely baseless. The character was designed only to add humour and support the story, not to mock or imitate anyone.
