Thanks to Baahubali, Prabhas achieved these rare feats in quick succession
Till the release of ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, the reputation of Prabhas was strictly restricted to South Indian states. However, after the release of Rajamouli’s magnum opus, the Rebel Star of Telugu cinema turned into a pan-Indian superstar with soaring popularity in all quarters of the country. The massive success of Saaho in the Hindi belt became the testimony to the universal stardom of this 40-year-old actor. Apart from India, Prabhas commands a solid fan following in countries like Japan and Russia and this has only been possible with the stupendous success of the Baahubali franchise. Check out his other feats achieved after the release of the first instalment.
First ever South Indian actor to get a wax statue at Madame Tussauds
Leaving many iconic superstars behind, Prabhas became the first South Indian actor to find a place at the famous Madame Tussauds museum in Bangkok. The wax statue established in 2017 reflected Prabhas’ look as Amarendra Baahubali in the epic Baahubali franchise and the handsome hunk was truly overwhelmed by this gesture. He thanked his fans for the unconditional love and support.
It was Prabhas who received the maximum attention from international audience at Royal Albert Hall
During the world premiere of Baahubali: The Beginning at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the entire star cast and technical crew of India’s biggest blockbuster were present. However, it was Rebel Star Prabhas who received the maximum attention from media personals, NRI audience and foreign nationals who have come from countries like Japan to catch the screening.
Second Indian actor after Raj Kapoor to win the hearts of Russian audience
In what can be termed as a proud moment to Telugu film lovers and Rebel Star fans, Prabhas has won the hearts of Russian audience. Since the telecast of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion on Russian television, the ‘Mirchi’ actor has been receiving praises from all quarters of the transcontinental country. His impeccable performance as both Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali in the epic warfare has struck the right chord with the global audience. Prabhas is the second Indian actor to win the Russian Audience' Heart. Thirty years ago, legendary Hindi actor Raj Kapoor did the same with his evergreen performance in films like Shree 420, Awaara and Aradhana.
One among the few South stars to command massive popularity in the Hindi market
Post the global reach of Baahubali franchise, Prabhas is no longer a South Indian actor as his popularity has transcended boundaries. The massive success of Saaho in the Hindi belt is the testimony to the universal stardom of this 40-year-old actor. Despite garnering underwhelming reviews at the ticket counters, the Hindi version of the actioner starring Shraddha Kapoor as the leading lady has collected a net of over Rs 150 crore and performed exceedingly well when compared to the Tamil and Telugu versions.
