Recently, Allu Aravind mentioned that his company, Geetha Arts, is now concentrating on making small movies due to money problems.
When asked if star heroes raise their payment after successes, affecting the movie budget, he stated that the lead actor of a film gets only 20 to 25 percent of the budget, so it's not just the hero's payment that increase the budget.
He added that a lot of money is spent to make the movie a big deal and the heroes are working in such films.
He referred to Yash, known for the success of his KGF movies, saying that the film worked well because of their high production value.
He questioned, "Who was Yash before KGF? What made that movie a hit? It was the quality of the movie. It's the making that attracts the audience."
His remarks about Yash upset the actor's fans.
One person wrote, "KGF is successful because of Yash. It wouldn't be the same without him. What's his problem?"
Another online user mentioned, "Allu Aravind should know that Yash isn't like nepo-kid Allu Arjun, who comes from a film family."
"KGF is a bigger hit than Pushpa. But look at Allu Arjun's body language. He is arrogant and never shows humility. But Yash is humble and not on a signing spree to capitalize on his success. But Arjun raised the budget of Pushpa-2. The film Pushpa didn't break even in some centers in the Telugu version. It's a hit because it worked in the Hindi belt," mentioned another netizen.
"Being the father of a star hero, Allu Aravind shouldn't have spoken about another star hero. Nobody knows where a hero would fall if their films fail," is a post on social media.
The highlight comment that caught the attention of many was: "Allu Sirish has been asking Aravind to make a big-budget film with him. If Aravind feels that big-budget films would work but not because of stars, he would have made a film with Sirish and given him a hit. Yes, Sirish is a nobody today, but he may become like the Kannada hero Rishab Shetty if given a chance. Why didn't Aravind do it?"
In continuation, the same netizen mentioned: "Aravind always cashed in by making a film under his own banner and selling it at high prices, following Chiranjeevi's superhit. But if the film fails, he would have given the opportunity for the next film to other producers who are not from his family. He still has the same mindset. Other producers should invest heavily in his son, but he wouldn't."
"Aravind always used to make reasonably controlled budget films. But when it comes to other producers, he expects them to go big with his son," mentioned a post.
All in all, the entire social media, especially Yash fans, are attacking Allu Aravind for his unpleasant egocentric comments.
