India, Oct. 24 -- On Prabhas' birthday on Thursday, filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga gave a special treat to the Rebel Star's fans, as he unveiled a special 'sound story' from their upcoming film Spirit. Given this was the first glimpse from the heavily anticipated film, the fan excitement was high. But amid the big reveal, what caught the attention of many fans was how Prabhas was introduced in the announcement. Instead of using Rebel Star as his title cards in recent years have, Spirit audio teaser declared Prabhas India's biggest superstar.

This declaration clearly made Prabhas fans very happy, but ignited debate on social media, with fans of other big stars like Shah Rukh and Salman Khan calling it disrespectful.
