Why Prabhas truly deserves the title of Pan-India superstar?

In today’s world of Indian cinema, where big openings and nationwide releases have become the norm, there’s one name that continues to stand tall — Prabhas. Ever since Baahubali 2 took the world by storm back in 2017, he’s redefined what it means to be a superstar.

And the best part? He’s done it without leaning on franchises or sequels. Instead, Prabhas has taken bold leaps with fresh stories and new collaborators — yet still pulls in jaw-dropping Day 1 numbers.

Baahubali 2 wasn’t just another blockbuster; it was a moment in cinema history. It became the first Indian film to cross ₹1000 crore globally and instantly turned Prabhas into a household name. It broke down language barriers and gave rise to a new kind of stardom — one that speaks to audiences across India, no matter the region.

What truly sets him apart is his ability to turn any film into a full-blown event. Take Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which opened to roaring crowds and didn’t let up. Or Kalki 2898 AD, one of India’s most ambitious sci-fi films — it smashed records and proved that Prabhas’s star power isn’t just intact, it’s thriving. With three consecutive ₹100 crore opening days (Adipurush, Salaar, Kalki), he’s set a benchmark no one else has matched. Add Baahubali 2 and Saaho to the list, and you’ve got five ₹100 crore openers — a record that speaks for itself.
