Om Raut calls Salman, Prabhas 'flop-proof stars'

Om Raut backed his statement about Salman Khan and Prabhas being 'flop-proof stars' with a reason. In a viral clip on social media, the Adipurush director said, "Actors like Prabhas and Salman Khan are flop-proof stars. They have a big fan following, a certain perception, and a certain image that doesn’t get affected by some flops. They are just beyond."

In the same interview, Om also spoke about the criticism of his directorial film Adipurush with Prabhas. The director believes that his movie did well at the box office. He feels that a film's criticism and its box office performance are two different things.

"In the case of Adipurush, the revenue was huge. The film did Rs 70 crore in India alone on the first day. Our box office still did Rs 400 crore [despite criticism]. So, the numbers are very large. It did so well at the box office," added Om.
