An old video of filmmaker SS Rajamouli comparing Hrithik Roshan and Prabhas is going viral on social media. Here’s how users are reacting to this.
SS Rajamouli on Hrithik
Baahubali and RRR helmer SS Rajamouli had once compared Prabhas to Hrithik Roshan and said that the latter is nothing in front of his Baahubali star. It happened so at the trailer launch of Prabhas’s Billa in 2008. Rajamouli made the comparison between the actors after seeing some visuals from the film Billa.
A clip of Rajamouli’s speech has resurfaced on the internet and it has earned a mixed response. In the clip, Rajamouli said, “When Dhoom 2 released two years ago, I wondered why only Bollywood can make such quality films. Don’t we have heroes like Hrithik Roshan? I just saw the songs, poster, and trailer of Billa, and I can only say one thing. Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas. I’d like to thank Meher Ramesh (director) for taking Telugu cinema to the Hollywood level.”

See how he he slyly mentions "Hindi" in particular. These people really hate the language, and since then want to create hate for bollywood by inciting regionalism.
