The riotous success of filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017) paved the way for regional actors to burst onto the national scene and expand their reach in regions where earlier only Bollywood stars enjoyed great presence.
After the colossal success of the aforementioned films, Prabhas became a national phenomenon. His popularity in Hindi belts skyrocketed to the level that today his films generate as much noise and excitement in these territories as any other Bollywood stars’ offerings.
