Director Om Raut is facing intense backlash from Prabhas fans and netizens following his recent statements about the resilience of stars Salman Khan and Prabhas. In a recent interview, Raut claimed that both actors are 'flop-proof' and that nothing could impact Prabhas’s stardom. He also highlighted that "Adipurush" managed to collect over Rs. 400 crore at the box office despite its massive budget and poor reception.
"Adipurush," which was supposed to be a grand cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana, turned out to be a major disappointment. The film was heavily criticized for its sub-standard VFX and its controversial portrayal of the epic, which led to severe trolling of Prabhas for his on-screen look. The film's failure was compounded by its budget of around Rs. 600 crore, resulting in a significant financial loss estimated at over Rs. 200 crore.
Om Raut’s assertion of the film’s success has not been well received, with social media users expressing their discontent and ridiculing the director's statements. The film’s failure has made Om Raut a frequent target of memes and jokes online, further fueling the controversy. As the trolling continues, Om Raut’s comments have become a focal point of discussion, highlighting the gap between his optimistic claims and the film’s actual performance.
