Tollywood darling Prabhas’s fame skyrocketed overnight after S.S. Rajamouli’s directorial epic Baahubali films were released. The Dashing dude received praise for brilliant performance in the franchise films, which gained him international recognition and led to the Pan India movement.
The Baahubali franchise ultimately became a turning point in his career. Now, on the special occasion of his 44th birthday, here’s taking an inside glimpse of his journey before and after the release of Baahubali.
The Telugu superstar debuted with the 2002 drama Eeswar and later attained his breakthrough with the action-romance Varsham (2004). His notable works include Chatrapathi (2005), Bujjigadu (2008), Billa (2009), Darling (2010), Mr. Perfect (2011), and Mirchi (2013), winning the Nandi Award for Best Actor for his performance in the lattermost. The handsome dude has already had a 15-year-old successful career in the South fraternity. The talented actor is the most loved Indian celebrity known for his humbleness and down-to-earth behaviour.
Prabhas was taken aback by the stratospheric rise of his fame to national and even international audiences. Prabhas became the first South Indian star to have a wax replica in Madame Tussauds. Baahubali: The Beginning, made on a budget of Rs 191 crore, earned Rs 600 crore at the box office. Its sequel, Baahubali: The Beginning, produced at a staggering budget of Rs 250 crore, amassed approximately Rs 854 crore. The actor received mixed reviews for Sahoo, Radhe Shyam and the mythological action film Adipurush. The film received negative reviews from the critics and turned out to be a box-office failure.
Prabhas is the first South Indian actor to receive a wax sculpture at Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. Though he has starred in a few tanked movies, including Saaho and Radhe Shyam after Baahubali, fans eagerly await Prabhas to redeem himself in his much-awaited projects Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD.
