&nbsp;Kamal Haasan bats for Energy Conservation. The West Asia war impacted the economies across the world and India isn't immune to it. Following this, PM Modi spoke about energy conservation and also proposed austerity measures.Now, Kamal Haasan also shared his thoughts on it. In a video He said “Today, I speak to you as an Indian deeply concerned by the impact of the Iran war. Oil prices are rising, sea trade routes are blocked, the energy that powers our kitchen and homes, fertilises and nourishes our fields and crops, fuel that drives our industries and vehicles, all have gotten more expensive. In response, more than 60 countries have already imposed energy-saving rules. We recently heard Singapore’s Prime Minister asking his people to prepare for tough times ahead. We are a much larger country.” He continued . “In moments like this, national responsibility must rise above party politics. As Mr Vajpayee ji famously said, governments will come and go, but the nation shall remain. During the 1962 China war, we donated gold from our homes to support our soldiers fighting at the border. In 1965, when India did not have enough food grains, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji asked citizens to skip one meal a week for the whole nation,” he said, adding, “Today, India does not need such sacrifice. Surely, we must do this for our country when our parents did much more.”He added "Remember, every unit of energy saved today strengthens India tomorrow. And every drop of oil saved protects the poorest Indian from inflation. Geopolitics will affect the pedestrians on the street as much as the high-flying rich. But if we face this crisis together, India will and can emerge stronger. Jai Hind.”&nbsp;

&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;
