Yash stirs a hornet next with pan India tag comments on Tollywood stars

Yash captured the imagination of all with mass action entertainers KGF1 and KGF2 and he is now set to take the Box Office by storm with the action entertainer Toxic. The film directed by Geetu Mohan Das is releasing on 26 Aug 2026.

Yash has been promoting the film and he shared his thoughts on pan India tag and on Tollywood stars Ram Charan, Allu Arjun and others and this stirred a hornet nest. He said all the stars are doing well but pan India stardom and equations change with each Friday.

This angered all the fans of the above stars. A producer questioned “Prabhas is ahead of Yash when it comes to the pan-India tag. The Baahubali franchise established him across the country, while his Bollywood outings such as Saaho and Adipurush, followed by Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD, further expanded his market. Allu Arjun became a pan-India star with Pushpa: The Rise and consolidated his position with Pushpa 2: The Rule. Ram Charan and Jr NTR also made a nationwide impact with the blockbuster RRR, while their subsequent films continued to attract audiences beyond the Telugu market,”

He said “If ₹1,000 crore is considered one of the benchmarks for the pan-India label, Prabhas has delivered three films that crossed that mark. Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule collected around ₹1,600 crore, while Ram Charan and Jr NTR together delivered around ₹1,200 crore with RRR. These figures demonstrate their nationwide crowd-pulling ability,

He added "Prabhas has the stamina and crowd-pulling prowess of Bollywood superstars such as Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, and earlier Amitabh Bachchan. Like them, he can draw audiences purely on the strength of his name,”

Hemanth Madhukar added "“Prabhas has attained a larger-than-life image and is ahead of many Tamil, Kannada and Bollywood stars in terms of box-office reach. Allu Arjun, Jr NTR and Ram Charan have also grabbed the attention of pan-India audiences and proved their crowd-pulling prowess. They are already ahead in the pan-India race,”
