Superstar ‘Prabhas’ is credited to be the first ‘Pan-India Star’ of our country. The actor earned this glorious tag immediately after the humongous successes of his magnum opus movies like ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ and ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, helmed by the hit-machine filmmaker ‘S.S. Rajamouli’. But the tables turned for this Telugu actor in 2019, when high-budget big banner films starring him started failing miserably at the box office that too in a consecutive pattern. Mega ventures like ‘Saaho’ (2019), ‘Radhe Shyam’ (2022) and ‘Adipurush’ (2023) created by top cinematic geniuses including ‘Sujeeth’, ‘Radha Krishna Kumar’ and ‘Om Raut’ respectively; resulted as deadly disasters of the movie markets in turn converting into a Hat-trick of flops.
Even after delivering a string of failures at the silver screens, Prabhas still remains the first choice of All Time Blockbuster ‘KGF-2’ Fame director ‘Prashanth Neel’. Yes you heard it right, the dynamic duo have collaborated for their high octane action-packed project- ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’. The film is slated to clash with SRK’s ‘Dunki’ this month on the Christmas Weekend, proving to be a tougher run for both the multi-starrers. Moreover, all load lands at Prabhas’s shoulders as Neel’s last KGF part- grossed more than ‘Rs.400 Crores’ in Hindi language itself, will ‘Salaar’ emerge as a super-hit ?, that only time would tell!
Surprisingly, Prabhas is also set to play the leading guy in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’; this star-studded movie additionally features tremendous talents and legendary personalities like ‘Kamal Haasan’, ‘Amitabh Bachchan’, ‘Deepika Padukone’ and ‘Disha Patani’. Backed by the Filmfare Award Winner- Nag Ashwin, the film flaunts a hefty-handsome budget of ‘Rs. 600 crores’ reportedly.
The Major reason for the Adipurush actor being the favourable choice of these mind-boggling projects is- his ‘Star Like Godly Image’ amongst the ‘Telugu’ speaking audiences in ‘Andhra Pradesh’ and ‘Telangana’. Plus the Superstar stands the first in list for delivering a ‘Rs. 500 crore’ grosser in Bollywood (dubbed): ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, screened way back in 2017. As per latest updates ‘Sandeep Reddy Vanga’ whose directorial ‘Animal’ has proven to shatter all records at the box office; has also fetched Prabhas for his upcoming highly anticipated piece of cinema: ‘Spirit’.
