Baahubali, the epic film that set new benchmarks in Tollywood, had a team that included Director Rajamouli, hero Prabhas, and an essential contributor, producer Shobu Yarlagadda. However, recent remarks by Shobu about Prabhas have garnered attention.

Known for his dedication and lack of controversy, Shobu Yarlagadda openly criticized his 'Baahubali' hero, Prabhas. In a recent YouTube interview, Shobu stated that a movie like 'Salaar' didn't necessarily require promotion in the Telugu market because of Prabhas's immense star power. However, he stressed the importance of promoting the film in the Hindi market.

He straightforwardly compared Prabhas's minimal promotion approach to Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan,' highlighting that while Shah Rukh doesn't heavily promote, Prabhas might have achieved better box office results for 'Salaar' by promoting it in the Hindi region. Shobu's candid remarks on this issue are likely to initiate discussions.

In the film industry, it's often challenging to openly discuss such matters, especially when it involves a star hero and their production teams. Shobu's perspective carries weight; it's not just Prabhas but also director Prashanth Neel who chose to avoid extensive pre-release promotions in Hindi, particularly while contending with a major Bollywood star's film. Shobu conveyed the viewpoint and challenges faced by the producers, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes aspects of film promotions.

Shobu's comments have sparked a debate, inviting reflections on the strategies employed by stars and their teams in promoting their films across different markets.
