This is unreal. Gone are the days when only Telugu movie buffs used to indulge in fan wars over who is the biggest star in Telugu cinema. This week, people from non-Telugu Stats have been found to be doing that!
The recent 'Pushpa 2' Trailer launch event was a huge public event in Patna. The makers have claimed that lakhs turned up for it. Any which way you look at it, it was a spectacular public event that has garnered the attention of the national media. Its grand scale has made many Allu Arjun fans to claim that the Icon Star is the biggest Telugu hero in Bihar in terms of popularity. As a counter, Prabhas' fans from Bihar have been found found arguing that Prabhas is the bigger one, not Bunny!
Statistically speaking, those doing these fan wars are insignificant in number. But what we are getting to witness on digital platforms like X could be a sign of what has taken root on ground in States like Bihar.
Probably, Telugu star heroes will stay relevant in States like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra only in sofaras they act in larger-than-life, mass masala action movies. Those who do films like 'Pushpa 2', 'Salaar' and 'Spirit' would be more relevant than those who don't.
