As a part of Sankranthi box office bonanza, several films are getting ready for theatrical release, and audiences are already aware of the intense competition. Among these films, the first big release is Prabhas’ The Raja Saab. The film’s grand pre-release event took place recently with huge fan attendance.
During this event, Prabhas made a statement that instantly won hearts across the industry and among fans. While speaking on stage, he humbly said that they always come after senior heroes and that seniors will always remain seniors, referring to Chiranjeevi, who is also releasing his film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu during Sankranthi, directed by Anil Ravipudi.
He requested his fans to make all films blockbusters and not just The Raja Saab. This remark reflected his respect for the hierarchy and traditions of Telugu cinema. The statement quickly went viral because it highlighted Prabhas’s grounded nature despite his massive pan India stardom.
Reacting to Prabhas’s words, Anil Ravipudi has now openly praised him. He said that even though Prabhas enjoys pan India fame and global recognition, the respect he shows toward senior Telugu heroes truly defines his character. Anil Ravipudi stated that such humility deserves a clear ‘hats off’.
He further mentioned that he actually wanted to express this appreciation at a grand public event and that he would definitely repeat it again on a bigger platform.
In an industry where stardom often leads to ego clashes, Prabhas’s words and the appreciation he received from fellow filmmakers stand as a strong example of dignity, humility, and respect for senior stars.
