When Allu Arjun Said 'Hrithik Roshan Is Nothing In Front Of Prabhas', Old Video Goes Viral

After Arshad Warsi's recent comment on the characterisation of Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD, a conversation pitting the two industries has stirred up. In a recent podcast, the Munna Bhai fame compared Prabhas' Bhairava in the Mag Ashwin fil with a ‘joker’ triggering strong reactions. Amid this, an old video of Pushpa fame Allu Arjun hailing Prabhas over Hrithik Roshan has resurfaced. 

When Allu Arjun hailed Prabhas over Hrithik Roshan

In the viral video, Allu Arjun and Prabhas were at a promotional event. During the event, Allu Arjun praised Prabhas for his impressive action sequences, calling him the best in the industry with the little jibe on Hrithik Roshan. The National Award-winning actor can be heard saying, “He (Prabhas) does great fights and is number one in all. As SS Rajamouli said, Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas.”

The video quickly went viral on Reddit, leading to comparisons between the two actors. Netizens shared various opinions and reactions, with many questioning the need and pointing out that each actor has a unique appeal and style. Some users marked Allu Arjun's comparison as a compliment, while others felt it was an insult to both actors, who are celebrated superstars with their own unique style. "Why are they so obsessed with Hrithik? It seems like they're so insecure about how Hrithik looks, acts, and presents himself that they constantly feel the need to compare," a fan commented.

SS Rajamouli’s old video resurfaces amid Arshad Warsi's controversy

The controversy began when actor Arshad Warsi was interviewed on a podcast hosted by Samdish Bhatia. During the discussion about Kalki 2898 AD, Arshad remarked that Prabhas looked like a "joker" in the movie and expressed his dislike for the film. In response, Prabhas' fans went to great way to defend him and even trolled Arshad. Following this, an old video resurfaced, where filmmaker SS Rajamouli compares Hrithik Roshan to Prabhas, claiming that the Krrish star is "nothing" compared to Prabhas.

SS Rajamouli even questioned why films like Dhoom 2 were only made in Bollywood. Later, Rajamouli countered his comments and confessed that his choice of words at the time was wrong and that he did not mean to "degrade" Hrithik.
