Director SS Rajamouli is widely regarded as a leading figure in Tollywood, known for his ability to draw audiences to the theaters regardless of the lead cast. He is currently celebrating the tremendous success of his latest film, RRR.

Recently, an old interview video of Rajamouli has resurfaced on social media in which he made a statement comparing actors Hrithik Roshan and Prabhas. In the video, he said that Hrithik is nothing in front of Prabhas during the press conference for Prabhas's film Billa.

Rajamouli also mentioned that he was impressed by films like Dhoom 2 and believed that other industries are capable of producing such high-quality films.

This statement has caused some backlash among the fans of Hrithik Roshan. Rajamouli has since clarified that the comment was made a long time ago and that his intention was not to belittle Hrithik, but acknowledges that his choice of words was not appropriate.
