A throwback video of Allu Arjun comparing Prabhas with Hrithik Roshan has gone viral, rekindling discussions on social media. In the clip, Allu Arjun, quoting SS Rajamouli, humorously mentions that “Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas,” while praising Prabhas as “number one.” This resurfaced video has sparked chatter online, especially in the context of recent comments made by Arshad Warsi about Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD. In the viral clip, Allu Arjun lauds Prabhas for his impressive action sequences, echoing Rajamouli’s statement. The video shows Prabhas smiling at the remark, while Hrithik Roshan’s fans took the comment as a lighthearted compliment, acknowledging Hrithik as a “benchmark to beat.” Redditors were quick to react, with many noting that the remark was likely made in a playful manner to hype Prabhas. One user commented, “They are using Hrithik as a bar, which is actually a huge compliment.” Others noted that such comparisons are common in India as a way to elevate someone’s stature. Another comment read, “Hrithik remains a standard across the industry from North to South.” This renewed discussion comes after Arshad Warsi recently made headlines by calling Prabhas’ appearance in Kalki 2898 AD reminiscent of a “joker.” Warsi was sharing his thoughts on recent films, expressing that while he admired Amitabh Bachchan’s performance in the movie, he wasn’t impressed with Prabhas’ look, suggesting it could have been more impactful. This ongoing debate highlights how Hrithik Roshan continues to be regarded as a yardstick for comparisons in Indian cinema, while stars like Prabhas carve their own path with the support of fans and industry insiders alike.
