New Delhi: An old video starring Allu Arjun has emerged, adding fuel to the fire, amidst the continuing buzz around Arshad Warsi's controversial statements regarding Prabhas' role in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. Allu Arjun says that Hrithik Roshan is "nothing" compared to Prabhas, paraphrasing SS Rajamouli, in the video. Since then, the video has become viral on Reddit, igniting discussions amongst admirers of both actors.
Speaking highly of Prabhas, Allu Arjun says in the video, “He (Prabhas) goes great fights and is number one in all. As SS Rajamouli said, ‘Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas’.”
The video ends with Prabhas smiling at the camera as he accepts the praise.
Reddit users have been quick to respond to the video and share their thoughts. One user said, “They are just trying to hype Prabhas using Hrithik as a bar In a jovial way. I don’t see any malice there. The only thing this proves is that Hrithik will remain a benchmark for everyone from North to South. It’s actually a big compliment.” Another person defended, “With all due respect and more, 1 Hrithik Roshan is a better artist than all his South Indian contemporaries combined.”
One user also commented, “Hrithik can eat Allu Arjun with his dance and acting any day!”
Arshad Warsi’s Comment On Prabhas
This conversation follows recent remarks by Arshad Warsi, in which he talked about Prabhas' performance in Nag Ashwin's ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. Although he praised Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Ashwatthama, he was sad with Prabhas' appearance. He even went as far as to call Prabhas "a joker". Arshad Warsi said in an interview with Samdish Bhatia, “I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand.”
