'Ghante ka superstar': Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas fans lock horns as Spirit promo declares him India's biggest superstar

On Prabhas’ birthday on Thursday, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga gave a special treat to the Rebel Star’s fans, as he unveiled a special ‘sound story’ from their upcoming film Spirit. Given this was the first glimpse from the heavily anticipated film, the fan excitement was high. But amid the big reveal, what caught the attention of many fans was how Prabhas was introduced in the announcement. Instead of using Rebel Star as his title cards in recent years have, Spirit audio teaser declared Prabhas India’s biggest superstar.
This declaration clearly made Prabhas fans very happy, but ignited debate on social media, with fans of other big stars like Shah Rukh and Salman Khan calling it disrespectful.

Reacting to the title card that read ‘India’s biggest superstar Prabhas’, one Shah Rukh Khan fan wrote on Twitter (now X), “India’s Biggest Superstar? Nice try but there’s only one Badshah who rules hearts from Mumbai to Morocco — #SRK. Legacy isn’t declared in posters, it’s earned over decades of magic, charm, and global love.” Another wrote a little more succinctly: “No disrespect to Prabhas, but “India’s biggest superstar”? SRK literally exists.”
