A standup comic’s video clip went viral on social media platforms. The comic Manoj Prabhakaran’s sly dig at Udhayanidhi Stalin caught the attention of the public. This was the opening joke of the hour-long show. In the video trending on the internet, Manoj is seen describing his decision to become a standup comic and that his father who was a conductor, never questioned his intentions. He says, “… But now my father is happy with whatever I do. He said, do whatever you want, don’t ask me money. Valid request and I respect that. And I don’t want my father’s help to build my career, I can do it on my own”
The act takes a funny turn at this point. Manoj says, “Actually most people in the world, they don’t need their father’s help to build their career. They all do it on their own. Unless you are Udhayanidhi Stalin.”
Manoj adds, “Then you need the help of your father, grandfather, Harris Jayaraj, Santhanam, Nayanthara, and 350 others to help you build your career. I know some of you are laughing, some of you are offended. Some of you are like, did he just say that? Is this allowed? Some of you are like who is this Udhayanidhi? I understand the confusion and that’s exactly how I want my audience to be divided in all my shows.”

The standup comic was already in the news in 2018 for allegedly mocking Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. In that video, he calls Mahesh Babu, the male version of Katrina Kaif as he had good looks but could not emote well in films.
He was abused brutally by fans of the actor and he later apologised for making those comments.
It remains to be seen in this case if followers and fans of DMK’s Udhayanidhi Stalin also behave similarly to the Telugu star’s fans.
