Rowdy Rathore is running successfully in theaters all over India, with Prabhu Deva being hailed as one of the best director’s for massy action flicks. But few are aware of the fact that, Rowdy Rathore is a scene-to-scene rip-off of Vikramarkudu, a telugu film directed by S.S. Rajamouli (who is considered to be one of the best directors in the Telugu film industry).
The original film featured Ravi Teja as Vikram Rathore and Anushka Shetty as Neeraja Goswami, played by Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha respectively in the Hindi version.
We have some videos from both the Telugu and Hindi version. Infact, we even have the full telugu movie with subtitles. Watch and then take your pick – Who played Vikram Rathore better? Akshay Kumar or Ravi Teja? Post your thoughts in the comments section below.

Ravi Teja is the best. Joke kumer nothing in front of Ravi Teja.
Akshay is best
There is no comparison in between Akshay and Ravi Teja. Akshay is undoubtedly genius.
I watched some Ravi Teza movies. All these movies are better than Hindi action movie. To day hindi movies have nothing to do. They are remake other languages movies. It is shame. Ravi Teza is better actor than to Hindi’s any action hero.
Akshay was brilliant in comedy scenes, where ravi teja over acted……action sequences r well shot in rr n akshay rocked in action scenes as vikram rathore n shiva……his expressions were gud n way better than salman khan…..ravi teja also did gud job as vikram rathore……
Akshay kumar is best.all actor in world.
AKSHAY is far far better than Teja…..they hav no cmparision…akki hav done real stunts
Akki rocks
There is no cmparisn in comedy…AKSHAY is really perfect in comedy timing as well in action
Akshay kumar aur ravi teja ka comparison kbhi nhi ho skta, pratighat had collected 39 crore lifetime collection whereas Rowdy Rathore had collected 176 crore worldwide and still counting. Agar Akshay or Tom Cruise ka comparison ho to confusion zaroor ho jayega but still , for me akki was, is, will b d best.
Akki is back on track. Akki’s action and comedy is as always better than everyone.
Akshay is the best action hero India has ever produced, far better than anyone. Akshay is def best. U cant compare Action ka Baap (Akshay Kumar) with ravi teja
Akshay kumar superb than teja…
akshay is best
obviously akki is the best
akky is the best no telc veja
akky is the best no teja veja
who is ravi teza i only knw akki da. And his work was owasam!
hmmmmm both movie i have seen honestly ravi teja is super star in both role he is much better as inspector role akshay did not fit in this movie when you have to do acting seen to seen copy?
Akki is joker mfkr!! His mustach sucks! Ravi Teja’s acting vikram rathod role was strong than Akki.
Akki copied from south movie and he envoke to be popular kutti. Ghajini, Bodyguard, Singham and now Rowdy Rathod this all movies got popularity by dubbed Andra Movies.
Come on peeps, now Andhra movie industry are trying to hype there movies in bollywood too and hindi versions too with alot prints. So, they gonna have a shitt!!!!
i am a punjabi myself but still i say …akshay is no match for reavi teja…at least as far as this movie is concerned…RAVI TEJA DID IT BETTER !
I watch both movies but Akshay is better than Ravi teja.. Akshay’s hight, body, action better than for Ravi teja..
Akki hai super stuntman ok!
baaki sab paap hai , akki sab ka baap hai …
Both are acting good and i like them…but Akshya is Akshya
akshay is best
Both actors r doing best but akki his hero yaar,
Comparing Akki’s RR to Ravi Teja’s RR is like comparing SRK’s Ra-One to Rajni’s Robot. No doubt Akki is the Khiladi and a great great actor but honestly, he falls miles short of Ravi Teja. Please watch both the movies and decide for yourself. And yes, please do not watch with a preset or a biased mindset, that who the hell is Ravi Teja and Akki is the king. Watch unbiased. And then make a decision. You will certainly say that Ravi Teja rocks!!! I ve just seen this movie of Ravi Teja as I am not Telegu, and that too on the insistence of my bro. And honestly, I felt that Ravi Teja rocked!!
Ravi teja is the best…. In ”pratighat/vikram rathore”
Recently i saw the telgu version on tv as my fren from Andhra was praising it alot….but honestly telling you Akshay is better than him 1- there is nobody better than Akshay in Action 2- Dialogue delivery by Akshay is the best wheras Ravi Teja voice is not so good……..3- Comic session also Akshay is best 4- i suggest Ravi Teja to undergo nose surgery like Shilpa shetty
