The Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has once again intensified the debate between Bollywood and South cinema as he called Prabhas a joker in an interview, while talking about his presence in the movie, Kalki 2898 AD.
Arshad Warsi stated, “Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kya bana dia yaar. Kyu karte ho aisa mujhe nahi samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why they do such things, I never understand).”
While many people slammed Arshad Warsi for giving such a statement, there were some who dug out old videos of SS Rajamouli and Allu Arjun in which they are saying that Hrithik Roshan is nothing in comparison to Prabhas.
The video is from the promotions of Billa (2007), SS Rajamouli stated, “When Dhoom 2 (2006) released in Hindi. I felt sad that why Bollywood is getting good quality. Why we don’t have heroes like Hrithik Roshan. And today, after watching the song and poster of Billa, and now we watched the trailer, now I want to say that Hrithik Roshan is nothing compared to Prabhas. Telugu cinema has become far better than Bollywood. And now we are equal to English films.”
@ssrajamouli If you cud blabber utter nonsense, then #ArshadWarsi is absolutely justified!

P.S: Acting, dance, physique, screen presence wise, #HrithikRoshan is miles ahead of #Prabhas .

Allu Arjun was also present at the event and he said, “Prabhas’ looks are extremely good. He does great fights and is number 1 in all. As Rajamouli said, Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas.”
Nohate to Hrithik fans, but #AlluArjun reportedly called #HrithikRoshan "useless" compared to #Prabhas! 😲 Why are some funding pages praising Allu while hating on Prabhas and only posting SSR video? 🤔 And why the sudden video about Bollywood’s global change? #Prabhas #AlluArjun pic.twitter.com/4SckxBjMOU

Though, SS Rajamouli clarified later on that he didn’t want to insult Hrithik Roshan as he respects him a lot, these videos at least make it clear that such cheeky statements are made from both the sides.
