Prabhas =Product of nepotism
Rana,= good actor yet product of nepotism(father n grand father are tollywood biggies)

🤣


One difference though-One product of nepotism makes 500cr another 50cr.

TBF, SSR has a multi- talented family. They collaborate on all his movies. Good for them, they are a proof that nepotism isn't always bad.

i find his family overrated. Keeravani makes similar music everytime n he is one of the most overrated music directors in TFI.
Except rajamouli n his wife everybody else is overrated in that family 😆

Rajamouli's father's stories are "heavily inspired" from chandamama children's magazine's stories just because most ppl haven't read those they can't makeout.

I have a huge collection of those magazijes starting from 1950s till d the last magazinr probably early 2000s n have read all the folk stories so found nothing special ij bahubali!

TFI is full of nepotism more than bollywood which people accept too😆

Well, this is completely my opinion
Bahubali is itself an overrated and unoriginal movie.
But even then, the actors (barring Prabhas of course) were really good.
Though I dislike kjo's nepotistic behaviour, turning down Prabhas ' demand is a good business decision he has taken.
While I agree Bahubali made Prabhas popular, but that doesn't mean the people who paid for bahubali are his fans (necessarily) .
Having one successful film under his belt doesn't mean people will see his next film automatically.
I know a hell lot of people who knows Prabhas as the "Bahubali guy" and while they liked the film, they aren't aware of Prabhas as a whole.
Plus, the kind of film he does is not exactly to the taste of Bollywood viewers.
Even if they do, Rohit Shetty is there to fulfill their hunger.
TBH, south actors(males especially) won't never ever do well in Bollywood.
Even Dhanush, who in his peak (during why this Kolaveri di) had 1000 folds the name value of Prabhas , could not make it big in Bollywood.
So what pot Prabhas is smoking? 😆
I think to Prabhas really become the next big thing in Bollywood , he needs to build his BW career from the bottom.
He can't feed on the Bahubali fame alone.

Wow! There seems to be someone here with a personal vendetta against Prabhas, shouting nepotism nepotism at it in every word and saying he has not acted well. I wonder what yardstick is used to measure good acting these days - Ranbir Kapoor? SRK? Isn't there no other strong argument against Prabhas, seriously? 😕😆

There is NO Bahubali movie or franchise without the character of Bahubali, both the father and the son. Yes Rana kattappa Shivagami all acted very well but they are all supporting characters only. The main person, when you take the movie as an epic tale (forget the actors) is Bahubali. So it is really making laugh like hell when I read comments that Bahubali character is over-rated and Prabhas, some one who dedicated many years of his life and acted in the role, is not good in it blah blah. Without his role there is NO BB movie. The movie itself was written for Prabhas in mind, as clarified by both SS Rajamouli and his father (the scriptwriter of the movie) many times. And Prabhas has made 100% justice to the role by giving it all he had as an actor and making himself immortal as the Bahubali charactar. Who cares how he silly or commercial had acted before BB? The movie marked a turning point in his life, as everyone and he himself acknowledges.

A good director brings out the true potential of an actor. In Kollywood, Surya and Vikram before Director Bala were laughable, but after working with Bala their acting matured to unimaginable heights. Let us appreciate an actor on how far he has come, rather than all other superficial yardsticks. And lastly, who knows whether this KJo refusing to launch Prabhas news is true or not? We cannot believe everything media reports about the movie world, a lot of it comes from pure imagination.

we have better talent in telugu than prabhas .
It's not personal vendetta u sound like a blind fan.
Prabhas needs to improve a lot in acting and dialogue delivery.coming from a family of telugu writers i find his telugu atrocious.

On the other hand rana had a personal teachrr to teach him the diction of telugu used by kings in old days .
Its not how many years prabhas spent on one film or built his body at the end of the day the impact made by Kattappa and Bhallala deva, devasena, sivagami characters is far more than the impact made by bahubali or sivudu.😆

So then keep acting in South films. You can demand whatever amount you want but in the end, the market dictates how much you actually get. It's clear from Karan Johar backing out that this 20 crore rate is something he can't get in BW.

He can ask 50 crores too - nobody is stopping him. But if nobody is ready to give it, it means that is not his market value.

Why do you presume, South actors are dying to act in Bollywood? On bold, Telugu industry is ready to pay him. Why will (why should) a hero who earns more than 20 crores in his home industry take a pay cut and work in a outside movie, which is as crap as any of his home industry's film? (Some stars reduce their fee for high quality, low budget, art movie. But KJo's film does not come under that category). Instead, they would prefer to act in their industry and dub in Hindi. That's what most south superstars (including Rajni) are doing.

Why KJo wants Prabhas fans to buy his movie tickets? He anyway has his Bollywood heroes (like RK), who have their own fan base. Let these star's fans make their movie a hit.

Nobody is denying that there are better actors in Telugu Film Industry or in any other Industries across the country, as well as in BW. In fact, we have all come across them at some point of time or other. Many of our character artists are splendid actors, I would really like to see threads here discussing them.

Having said that, every actor needs to keep on improving at all fronts, irrespective of what kind of success they have garnered in their films. Same would happen with Prabhas and others, over time. They will learn more and mature further. Even for the other better actors in TFI. From better, they will move onto being the best.

BB as a phenomenon owes it's success to everyone involved. I am sure everybody involved is benefiting from it, and not only Prabhas. However, if that translates into better offers for him, better scripts and a hike in his fees (depending on what kind of role he is being asked to portray, if at all) then why not ask for a hike? At work as well,w hen we do excellently in any year, we ask for a handsome raise vis a vis years when we don't do that phenomenally. Same logic applies here. He has done a good job, given the response to the film, especially to BB2, all across the country and the world, and he is asking for a raise.

KJo often pays obscene amount of money to other actors, even flop ones, but that is his choice. Just like asking for a hike is Prabhas' choice, irrespective of whether we like it or not.

If things work out between them, we might get a good movie. If not, I am sure, KJo with all his powers and clout, will get someone else. It's as simple as that.

Growth is a key aspect in every sphere of life, and we are all continually learning and trying to make things better.

he was the main character and some people here don't want to give him any credit for Bahubali's success. so hilarious.

He's not hiking his fee though. He got 25 crores for each of the BB films. He's taking 30 crores for Saaho.
