Telugu cinema is slowly being recognised and appreciated in other countries and our stars too. Prabhas is one of the few Indian actors who has the largest following worldwide. It was only recently that Prabhas’ images from 'Radhe Shyam' even rocked milk bottles in Japan, an item that was sold out within a few hours, speaking volumes for his fandom in the island country.

The trailer of 'Radhe Shyam' received over 57 million views in 24 hours and even broke Baahubali: The Conclusion’s four year old record to emerge the ‘most viewed trailer’ of all time. If that wasn’t all, a song from 'Radhe Shyam' has already broken several records, while the trailer event accommodated a crowd of over 40,000 of the rebel star’s fans from across the country.

In the history of Telugu cinema, never had a South star crossed over to other markets with such ease, especially in the Hindi speaking belt. At a time where the Hindi film industry does not solely determine the popularity and stardom of an actor, Prabhas has emerged as the biggest and highest paid superstar in the country today. His remuneration for the upcoming film 'Adipurush' is rumoured to be close to 150 crores, surpassing the fees of top Bollywood stars.

Prabhas is also the only star to have five huge pan-India films. With 'Adipurush,' 'Radhe Shyam,' 'Salaar,' 'Spirit,' and 'Project K,' the actor has over 1500 crores riding on his projects. While megastars of certain stature repeatedly trying and testing formulas and sticking to a zone they are most loved in, Prabhas chose to break the mould and tested new waters with a mixed bag of films that range from mythologies, action entertainers, rom-coms to science fiction.

Given the scale and magnitude of the rebel star’s films, it’s safe to say that Prabhas is the busiest star till 2024. The pan-India icon’s schedule is choc-o-bloc with back to back releases, promotions and shoots for his films Project K with Deepika Padukone and his highly anticipated 25th film, 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
