Bengaluru, Mar 21: Multi-lingual actor Prakash Rai, known for his outspokenness especially regarding actions and policies of the central government, is all set to mark his official entry into politics with a rally.
The actor will be contesting as an independent candidate from Bengaluru Central in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Rai will file his nomination on Friday March 22 with a rally at 9 am from Nanda ground, Austin Town, to BBMP office at Hudson circle via Richmond road.

He has repeatedly criticised fringe groups over the issue of 'Hindutva' and had launched a social media campaign called '#JustAsking' encouraging people to question the government.
