Introduction
A new storm has erupted in the world of Indian cinema — and this time, it’s not about box office numbers, but about a title. The phrase “Ghante ka Superstar” has gone viral after a fan war broke out between supporters of Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, following the release of the Spirit audio teaser.
The controversy began when the teaser introduced Prabhas as “India’s Biggest Superstar”, sparking massive reactions across social media platforms.
The Spirit Teaser Sparks Debate
On the occasion of Prabhas’ birthday, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga dropped a surprise — an audio teaser from their upcoming action film Spirit.
While fans were thrilled to get a first glimpse of the much-awaited project, what caught everyone’s attention was the introduction:
“Introducing India’s Biggest Superstar – Prabhas.”
The bold statement divided the internet. While Prabhas fans cheered with pride, followers of other megastars — especially Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan — weren’t too pleased.

Shah Rukh Khan Fans React Strongly
Soon after the teaser went live, Shah Rukh Khan fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disapproval.
One fan wrote,
“Nice try, but there’s only one Badshah who rules from Mumbai to Morocco — SRK. Legacy isn’t declared in posters; it’s earned over decades of magic and love.”
Another SRK admirer posted a meme inspired by Aryan Khan’s upcoming web series, captioned:
“Ghante ka biggest superstar,” directly mocking the line used for Prabhas.
Supporters of SRK reminded everyone that Shah Rukh Khan remains the only Indian actor with two ₹1000 crore global blockbusters — Pathaan and Jawan — both released in 2023, followed by Dunki. For them, calling anyone else “India’s biggest superstar” felt like disrespect to decades of dominance.
Prabhas Fans Defend the Title
On the other hand, Prabhas’ fanbase defended the bold claim.
Many cited his pan-India appeal and the record-breaking success of Baahubali as proof.
A fan wrote,
“Sandeep Reddy Vanga got it right. Prabhas is India’s biggest superstar today. His reach goes beyond language barriers.”
Another comment read,
“Box office numbers speak for themselves. Prabhas has carried Indian cinema to global audiences.”
The ongoing debate shows how passionate Indian movie fans are — and how titles like Superstar or Badshah carry emotional weight beyond the big screen.
Upcoming Films and What Lies Ahead
Prabhas has a busy slate ahead. He will next appear in the fantasy-horror film The RajaSaab, directed by Maruthi, co-starring Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, and Nidhhi Agerwal. The movie is set to release on January 9, 2026.
Following that, Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, promises to showcase Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar. The film also features Triptii Dimri and Vivek Oberoi in key roles.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly in talks for several upcoming projects after his remarkable 2023 run, solidifying his standing as Bollywood’s eternal king.
Conclusion
The “Ghante ka Superstar” moment has become more than just a meme — it reflects the deep passion and pride fans feel for their idols.
While Prabhas continues to rise as a pan-India powerhouse, Shah Rukh Khan’s global influence remains unmatched.
In the end, whether it’s “India’s Biggest Superstar” or “Badshah of Bollywood”, both stars symbolize the power and emotion of Indian cinema — a world where admiration easily turns into rivalry, and where every fan’s voice adds fuel to the fire of stardom.
