Cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin's Video Sparks Controversy Among Ram Charan and NTR Fans

A fresh controversy has erupted on social media after cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin’s recent YouTube video triggered a debate among fans of actors Ram Charan and NTR. The longstanding discussion about who held the more significant role in director S.S. Rajamouli’s blockbuster film RRR has resurfaced, this time fueled by Ashwin’s video thumbnail.

Following India’s victory against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy league match on Sunday, Ashwin uploaded a video on his YouTube channel. The video’s thumbnail featured a digitally altered image comparing the role of players supporting their team captains. Behind Indian captain Rohit Sharma, Ashwin placed an edited image of himself replacing Ram Charan’s character from RRR, while for the Pakistani player, he used an altered image of NTR’s character. This sparked outrage among NTR’s fans, who saw it as disrespectful.

Ram Charan’s fans argued that since he was the main lead in RRR, Ashwin chose to align himself with that role. On the other hand, NTR’s fans expressed anger, stating that associating NTR’s image with a Pakistani player was unacceptable. The controversy quickly escalated on social media, with both fan bases clashing over the issue.

Many NTR fans criticized Ashwin for allegedly provoking them with his choice of imagery, while Ram Charan’s supporters used the moment to reignite the debate about who was the true lead in RRR. As the online dispute intensifies, it remains to be seen how Ravichandran Ashwin will respond to the backlash from NTR's fans.
