The challenge from Pratt, 25, comes in the wake of Kutcher defeating the CNN cable TV network in a similar Twitter follower race.
MTV said Friday that Kutcher, star of movies such as "The Butterfly Effect" and "Just Married," had challenged CNN to a race for 1 million Twitter followers.
The 31-year-old actor managed to defeat CNN, reaching the designated tally a half an hour faster than the news network.
MTV said as part of his challenge, Kutcher donated $10,000 to the Malaria No More Fund, which buys mosquito bed nets for those living in areas filled with malaria-laden mosquitoes.
