Rajamouli on Hrithik vs Prabhas

Rajamouli did a U-turn on his comments on Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and Young Rebel Star Prabhas. Rajamouli's old video in which he said Hrithik Roshan is nothing in front of Prabhas went viral and this triggered a huge controversy.

Rajamouli said “It was long, long back... I think some 15-16 years back. But yeah, my choice of words of mine wasn’t good, I must admit it. My intention was never to degrade him, I respect him a lot. It is long back.".

He went on to add “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 Hollywood level,"
