&nbsp;On comparisons between Rajamouli and Prashanth Neel. Rajamouli attained international acclaim with films like Baahubali and RRR and earlier he made an impact with films like Magadheera and Eega. &nbsp;In the meantime, Prashanth Neel made a stunning impact with films like KGF and Salaar.Currently, Rajamouli is busy with Mahesh Babu's Varanasi and Prashanth Neel is busy with NTR's Dragon. In the midst of all this, comparisons started between Rajamouli and Prashanth Neel. Following this, MS. Raju came up with this analogy.He said “I don't subscribe to the suggestion of someone replacing someone because every director has his own stature and credibility. Rajamouli has an enviable body of work which no one could achieve,” M.S. Raju said. At the same time, he acknowledged Prashanth Neel’s growing popularity after the buzz around Dragon. “He is a passionate filmmaker who understands how to make pan-India films with stars who have a huge following. Even calling someone a Telugu or Kannada director has become obsolete.”Kona Venkat said "Attempts to pull down Rajamouli unfair and emphasized that Rajamouli continues to set benchmarks for filmmakers across industries." &nbsp;
