There are superstars and there is Prabhas
A Pan-India megastar, whose fame is unquestionable, Prabhas is also an icon whose reach expands with every passing day. His fame is not merely confined to India, but his name is acknowledged across the world. Over time, the actor has built a huge fan base. His enthusiastic admirers being so devoted to him reflects greatly on his success. On that note, here’s why we believe Prabhas is the biggest megastar we have in the nation today:
Overseas fame
Telugu cinema is gradually being acknowledged and valued in other nations and our stars as well. Prabhas is one of the rare Indian actors who has the broadest fanbase worldwide. It was only recently that Prabhas’ images from ‘Radhe Shyam’ even stirred milk containers in Japan, an item that was sold out within a few hours, illustrating the extent of his fanbase in the island country.
‘Radhe Shyam’ reception
The trailer of ‘Radhe Shyam’ received over 57 million views in 24 hours and even broke Baahubali: The Conclusion’s four-year-old record to emerge the ‘most viewed trailer’ of all time. If that wasn’t enough, a song from ‘Radhe Shyam’ has already shattered multiple records, while the trailer event hosted a gathering of over 40,000 of the rebel star’s supporters from around the country.
India’s highest-paid actor
In the annals of Telugu cinema, never had a South star transitioned to other markets with such fluidity, especially in the Hindi-speaking region. At a time when the Hindi film industry does not solely dictate the fame and prominence of an actor, Prabhas has emerged as the largest and highest-compensated superstar in the country today. His compensation for the forthcoming film ‘Adipurush’ is speculated to be near 150 crores, exceeding the charges of leading Bollywood stars.
5 pan-India films
Prabhas is also the sole star to have five massive pan-India films. With ‘Salaar,’ ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ ‘Radhe Shyam,’ ‘Spirit,’ and ‘Adipurush,’ the actor has over 1500 crores invested in his projects. While megastars of particular status repeatedly experimenting and evaluating formulas and adhering to a domain they are most adored in, Prabhas opted to shatter the mould and explored new territories with a diverse collection of films that span from mythologies, action spectacles, rom-coms to science fiction.
Packed schedule
Given the scope and magnitude of the rebel star’s films, it’s certain to declare that Prabhas is the busiest star through 2024. The pan-India icon’s timetable is jam-packed with successive releases, promotions.
