Indian actor, Prakash Raj is known for his famous roles as villain, but his recent tweet may just have made him a hero!

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown, which came to effect mid last week. Yet, this has not stopped some people from venturing outside without proper reason.

Prakash Raj, who paid his staff a 3-month-salary in advance and is helping stranded migrants in the ways he can, tweeted a simple message to fans.

#COVID2019india #kuchkarona The VIRUS doesn’t move .. WE the PEOPLE move it .. STAY HOME.. HELP those around you .. BE RESPONSIBLE..HELP THE AUTHORITIES..a moment with my son.. 🙏THINK OF THEIR FUTURE #JustAsking pic.twitter.com/GWsstFgmxp

However, the internet was divided. While some netizens appreciated his intention behind the post, some others scrutinized that he didn’t stand up while singing the national anthem.

Sir, how about showing some respect by standing up while singing the National Anthem! #JaiHind 🇮🇳
