The world of Indian cinema is ever so vibrant that stars and their comments about themselves or others are as gripping as their performances. Some days ago, there appeared an old video with one of the most popular South Indian actors of today, Allu Arjun. In the video, Arjun is seen comparing two Bollywood heavyweights: Hrithik Roshan and Prabhas, actor from the much debated movie Adipurush.

This particular video resurfaced at the right time when Prabhas was in news because of a controversy with Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi. However, the details of this issue are important, the video concerned a more cheerful conversation about the preferences of cinephiles where Allu Arjun freely admitted his love for both Hrithik and Prabhas, in different shades.

Hrithik Roshan has been called the ‘Greek God’ of Bollywood, for his dancing, good looks and acting abilities in films like Koi Mil Gaya, Krrish and War. Prabhas, on the contrary, got the pan-Indian stardom with the mega-success of the Baahubali films. While Hrithik has the luxury of doing all kind of roles with ease and has established himself in commercial cinema, Prabhas has been appreciated for his ‘big’ roles, especially in movies like Baahubali and Adipurush.

In the video, Allu Arjun said that Hrithik Roshan has great dance moves and a great personality but at the same time, he wanted to mention Prabhas’s magnetism. As per Arjun, Hrithik is always perfect with his smooth performances but Prabhas carries raw energy with him and that makes him a powerhouse on-screen. Though this comparison is a compliment for both actors, the fans of both actors had started discussions regarding their contributions to Indian cinema.

The timing of this video going viral is quite surprising particularly at the time when Arshad Warsi and Prabhas are in the middle of some controversy. In his comments, which some people viewed as criticism of Prabhas’s performance in *Adipurush*, Warsi continued the discussion of the film’s depiction of mythological characters.

The film made by Om Raut Adipurush got a lot of trolling for the portrayal of characters and their take on the Ramayana where Prabhas portrayed a character of Lord Ram. It is either Arshad Warsi made such statements subconsciously, which indirectly refers to the film and, therefore, to Prabhas’ acting performance.

In this connection, the earlier statements of Allu Arjun in regard to Prabhas and Hrithik have received more attention than before, concluding with the active discussions of fans and media regarding the relationships between the two actors from two different film industries. The comparison made by Arjun, which was initially to praise both the stars has turned out to be a point of discussion regarding the career and image of both the stars.With the ongoing debate concerning the movie Adipurush, the video has highlighted the issue and has shown that in the world of cinema there are often many layers, from one comment it is possible to provoke a massive scandal and change the fans’ perception toward the actors.
