A fiery debate has erupted on social media between fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, once again highlighting the North vs South divide in Indian cinema.
The discussion reignited after filmmaker Siddharth Anand’s tweet drew comparisons between the two stars. While Shah Rukh Khan has long been celebrated as Bollywood’s “King of Romance,” Prabhas has emerged as a true pan-India phenomenon, transcending linguistic and regional boundaries.
SRK remains one of India’s most iconic entertainers — admired for his charm, discipline, and remarkable fitness even at 60. However, his strongest fan following is still rooted in the Hindi-speaking belt.
Prabhas, on the other hand, commands nationwide appeal, with a solid fan base across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi audiences. His blockbusters Baahubali 2 and Kalki 2898 AD both surpassed the ₹1000 crore mark, setting new milestones in Indian cinema.
While Shah Rukh Khan also achieved ₹1000+ crore success with Pathaan and Jawan, those films didn’t enjoy the same pan-Indian emotional connect that Baahubali 2 did in the South.
In essence, if Shah Rukh Khan rightfully holds the crown as India’s “King,” then Prabhas — with his unmatched reach and acceptance across all regions — truly earns the title of Indian cinema’s “Emperor.”
