New Delhi: Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu got trolled on Twitter for his tweet on Allu Arjun's film 'Pushpa: The Rise'. A few days ago, the 'Pokri' actor had taken to Twitter to shower compliments on Pushpa cast and crew including Allu Arjun, composer Devi Sri Prasad, director Sukumar and even Mythri Movie Makers.

However, netizens noticed that he had missed out on the female lead - Rashmika Mandanna. 

This led to a group of Twitteratis asking Mahesh Babu why he didn't praise Rashmika along with Allu Arjun despite her being the female lead in the movie. One netizen even deemed it as a 'huge disrespect' to Rashmika.

Take a look at Mahesh Babu's tweets and reactions to them:
