With the Hindi version of ‘Saaho’ inching towards Rs 100 Cr nett in India, the Bollywood trade market has now accepted Prabhas as the Pan Indian star.
A Bollywood trade analyst has just termed Prabhas is now a bigger star than Hrithik Roshan and other Bollywood stars in the North Indian market.
This means he will now be treated on par with Bollywood big stars whenever his future films hit the screens. This is a huge achievement.
Irrespective of the genre of Prabhas’s next films and whoever be the director, Bollywood trade will welcome his movies in a big way.
Other Tollywood stars have turned red after seeing the size of his Pan-India market.
Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, NTR and other top stars may collect on par or bigger than what Prabhas is drawing in the Telugu states and but it would be impossible in near future to reach what Prabhas has able to achieve in the North Indian market.
In the 1990s, Rajinikanth had expanded his market and popularity beyond traditional Tamil markets post “Baasha” and “Padayappa” and later also strengthened his position in North India. It took many years for Rajinikanth to achieve this but Prabhas has already settled in.
Henceforth, the magnitude of Prabhas’s overall business of each film and the volume of the collection will be on the next level and other stars cannot reach that stage.
There is a comment that stars like Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and NTR are already feeling jealous of Prabhas’s rise as a Megastar.
