SS Rajamouli, who shot to Pan India fame with the Baahubali franchise is now winning accolades across the globe for his RRR movie. The movie has won several awards in various crafts and the star director is still in the USA for promoting the movie extensively.
Recently, an old video of Rajamouli comparing Hrithik Roshan with Prabhas had gone viral for the wrong reasons. Rajamouli, in the old interaction, had said that Hrithik is ‘nothing’ in front of Prabhas. Now, Rajamouli addressed his remarks and confessed that his choice of words at the time was wrong and that he did not mean to ‘degrade’ Hrithik.
In a video, Rajamouli had spoken about his comments on the red carpet of the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and 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.” Fans lauded Rajamouli for accepting his mistake.
The video was shared on social media and several users shared their reactions. “I love that he admitted and gave a straight answer. Most of the people would’ve tried to dodge it,” a user said. “But he admitted his mistake. That’s mighty of him,” added another.
Rajamouli’s last release RRR is taking the West by storm. The movie has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu. The team was present at the prestigious ceremony and celebrated their win.
