In the ever-evolving landscape of Indian cinema, few actors have achieved the kind of pan-India and global dominance that Prabhas has.
His journey is legendary from his breakthrough in Telugu cinema to becoming one of the most bankable superstars across industries.
What sets him apart is his ability to headline films that not only redefine box office success but also leave a lasting cultural impact. With multiple films crossing the ₹1000 crore mark worldwide, Prabhas has proven that he is the undisputed pan-India superstar.
1- Baahubali 2
SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion was more than just a film—it was a cinematic revolution. It became the first Indian movie to cross ₹1000 crore worldwide and went on to amass over ₹1800 crore globally, setting an industry benchmark. Prabhas’ portrayal of Amarendra Baahubali turned him into a household name, and the film’s historic success elevated him to international stardom.
2- Baahubali: The Beginning
The first installment of the Baahubali saga laid the foundation for what would become one of the most celebrated franchises in Indian cinema. With breathtaking visuals and Prabhas’ powerful dual portrayal of Shivudu and Mahendra Baahubali, the film struck a chord with audiences worldwide. Over the years, through re-releases and international screenings, it officially crossed the ₹1000 crore milestone, solidifying Prabhas as a mass entertainer.
3- Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire
Directed by KGF filmmaker Prashanth Neel, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire proved to be another massive success for Prabhas. The film’s intense action sequences, gripping storytelling, and commanding screen presence helped it storm past the ₹1000 crore mark globally. With Salaar: Part 2 in development, this action-packed franchise is only set to grow bigger.
4- Kalki 2898 AD
The latest addition to Prabhas’ list of ₹1000 crore blockbusters is Kalki 2898 AD, a futuristic sci-fi epic inspired by Indian mythology. With its grand visuals, unique storytelling, and an ensemble cast featuring Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan, the film became an instant sensation. Its worldwide collection of over ₹1000 crore further cemented Prabhas’ position as a box office king, proving his ability to draw massive crowds regardless of genre.
With four back-to-back ₹1000 crore blockbusters, Prabhas has achieved what very few actors in Indian cinema have. His films transcend linguistic and regional boundaries, attracting audiences from across the country and beyond. Whether it’s a period epic, a high-octane actioner, or a futuristic sci-fi thriller, he continues to push the envelope with larger-than-life spectacles. As he gears up for Salaar: Part 2 and other big-budget projects, one thing is certain—Prabhas is not just a superstar; he is a phenomenon that continues to dominate the cinematic landscape.
On the work front Prabhas will next be seen in Kalki 2, Salaar 2, Spirit, and Kannappa amongst many other projects.
