This remark angered not just fans but also big names like Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Sudheer Babu, and Abhishek Agrawal.
Even though Arshad’s criticism was aimed at Prabhas’ role in the film and not the actor himself, he became the target of relentless trolling.

Adding to the noise, Nani cheekily commented that Arshad got the biggest publicity of his life by making remarks about Prabhas. Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty also criticized Bollywood recently for often portraying India in a negative light.
These exchanges have reignited the divide between fans of the North and South industries. Bollywood supporters are now swearing off South films, claiming their stars are degrading Bollywood, while South cinema fans are equally vocal about boycotting Hindi films.

Amidst this tension, Allu Arjun has found favor with Bollywood fans. A few months ago, he voiced his support for Bollywood, saying, “Just because they had a small bad phase, it’s unfair to put Bollywood in a bad light. They’ve given us great cinema for six to seven decades.”
He also acknowledged Bollywood’s influence on South cinema, adding, “There’s a lot of mutual respect between us; we’re like brothers from different lands.”
This clip of Allu Arjun’s remarks is now being widely shared by Bollywood fans and influencers, who are praising him for his humility.
They appreciate that success hasn’t gone to his head and admire him for acknowledging Bollywood’s significant contribution to Indian cinema. Fans are applauding him for being sensible and calling for mutual respect across all languages.
Moreover, fans are highlighting Allu Arjun as the real pan-India star, noting that he’s achieved this status without relying on major directors. They’re extending their full support for Pushpa 2, expressing confidence that the film will break records in Hindi.
