It is not an exaggeration to say that Prabhas is the only real pan-Indian superstar at present. From Khans to Megas and Nandamuris, no other hero even comes close to his stature, and the numbers speak volumes.
In terms of Indian cinema’s all-time biggest openers, Prabhas has three films to his name: ( Top 5: RRR, Baahubali 2, KGF 2, Adipurush Saaho).
Prabhas’s films carry a larger-than-life appeal that resonates across the pan-Indian landscape. Despite not having a flawless film after Baahubali, he continues to generate enormous numbers with average films.
If he were to release a solid film with unanimous talk, it would create havoc at the box office from north to south.
While Pushpa 2 has the potential to shatter all records and claim the highest-grossing title, Allu Arjun will not be credited as the number one pan-Indian star.
Only if Allu Arjun maintains the same momentum and consistency as Prabhas, he may eventually join his league. Until then, he is not at Prabhas’s level.
Prabhas’s upcoming projects like Salaar and Project K will only amplify his stardom.
The potential to draw crowds to theaters with directors like Sujeeth and Radhaakrishna adds to the unique stardom of Prabhas.
