Allu Aravind continues to stir controversy with mega fans

Magadheera directed by S. S. Rajamouli was a game-changer in the Telugu film industry, particularly for its lead actor Ram Charan. During a promotional interview, Allu Aravind revealed that Magadheera was made with the intention of giving his nephew, Ram Charan, a major hit. Aravind was determined to make the film a success regardless of the budget, following the average performance of Charans earlier film Chirutha. This revelation sparked various debates on social media between fans of different film families leading to a clash between Mega fans and Allu Aravinds supporters.

Some fans argue that Charans massive success was only possible due to Allu Aravinds involvement while others feel that Magadheera could have been a bigger success had the Tamil and Hindi versions been released on time. The making video of Magadheera along with Rajamoulis comments about the films potential in other languages has fueled these discussions.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Allu Aravind’s words in recent times have been hurting Mega fans. Even during the Tahndel pre-release event, his indirect remarks about Ram Charan’s film Game Changer, calling it a “flop” and discussing its “basic numbers,” seem to have targeted the Mega fans. These comments have sparked controversy, with many feeling that Aravind’s statements were aimed at undermining Charan’s success, causing a rift between his supporters and those loyal to other film families.

Despite all the debates, its clear that Magadheera holds a special place in Telugu cinema. The movie not only set industry records but also gained immense popularity for its unique content. It laid a strong foundation for later blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR proving that the films success was not just due to star power but also due to the collaborative efforts of Allu Aravind, Ram Charan and Rajamouli.
