Ram Charan, NTR\'s RRR directed by Rajamouli created a sensation across the world. The film went on to win the prestigious oscars for the best original song Naatu Naatu. However, both fans of NTR and Ram Charan ever since the project announcement and even now are fighting about who is the real hero in the film.\r\nSome even accused Rajamouli of marginalizing NTR and preferred Ram Charan. In the midst of all this, AI bot Grok declared RRR hero when a question was asked. Grok in its reply came up with the following answer.\r\nIn RRR, Komaram Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) seems to be the main hero, driven by his mission to rescue Malli, while Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) is a key co-lead with his undercover revolutionary role. Both fight against British rule, but Bheem&rsquo;s initial quest sets the plot in motion, even though Raju&rsquo;s layered character adds depth. The debate continues&mdash;some see them as equal leads, yet Bheem&rsquo;s arc feels more central. Rajamouli balances them well, making it difficult to label either as a side character. Raju&rsquo;s hidden conflict adds intrigue, enriching the dual-hero narrative.\"\r\nThis once again triggered social media wars between Ram Charan and NTR fans.&nbsp;

Vikram Bhatt on Rajamouli. Bollywood director and producer, Vikram Bhatt is getting ready for his upcoming projects Tumko Meri Kasam and a project with Rani Mukherjee and Aftab Shivadasani.\r\nVikram Bhatt spoke about commercial entertainers, big budget films and Rajamouli. Defining mass cinema, he said \"I come from the culture of stalls, not balcony. As a matter of fact, I am not the multiplex viewer at all because I want to scream and clap and whistle and everybody is sitting quietly and then you can watch it at home. I mean, what&rsquo;s the whole point of watching it together? So it would dialoguebaazi and taali maarna and all that is part of the filmmaker I am.\"\r\nHe continued \"So I think what is a mass film? I mean, a mass film is just something that evokes the primordial emotion in you. It can be laughter, it can be tears, it can be uh, you know, action, it can be anything. But these have been primordial emotions. They are very sophisticated and very aesthetic, so you speak, very esoteric emotions.\"\r\nOn big budget films, he shared \"Maybe Rajamouli&rsquo;s films may have that budget but he&rsquo;s proved himself by bringing the money back. It depends on the subject you take. Like I have a family drama and a courtroom drama and twists and turns, I don&rsquo;t need that kind of money. Maybe if I was making a Chhaava I may need that kind of a budget because it&rsquo;s a big historical with lots and lots of extras and fighters and costumes and so on and so forth.\"\r\nHe explained \"The problem is when you spend money on a film that doesn&rsquo;t deserve that bigger budget. is rather problem comes Like if I were to spend 60-70 crore on Tumko Meri Kasam, it would be a calamity. Because there&rsquo;s no way you can justify that cost.\"
