a Bollywood-obsessed nation like ours but
Telugu superstar Prabhas is definitely an
exception. After Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan;
Prabhas is perhaps the only actor who has
been able to woo both the North and South
Indian audiences, thanks to SS Rajamoulis
Baahubali. Prabhas has been acting since
more than 14 years now and after making it
big down south, it's now time for him to
make his Hindi debut.
As per a report in DNA, Karan Johar (the co-
producer and distributor of the Hindi
version of the Baahubali series) is keen on
collaborating with SS Rajamouli to launch
Prabhas in Bollywood."Karan has been
encouraging Rajamouli to do a Hindi film
after Baahubali. They will team up to launch
Prabhas in Bollywood," an insider told the
paper. Johar envisions to show-case the
actor as an action-romance star in
Bollywood. Should Akshay Kumar and
Salman Khan be worried? Maybe, yes!
A source close to Prabhas told the daily that
he has focused only on Baahubali franchise
in the past four years and turned down
many acting offers from Bollywood's biggest
banners in the process. But now that it's
coming to a Conclusion, he is considering all
of it. When asked about his Bollywood plans
in an earlier interview, Prabhas said, "I've
got a few good [Hindi film] offers, but I have
two movies in the pipeline that are my home
productions. After completing those, if I get
good scripts, I would love to do a Hindi film
and work in Bollywood."
KJo's film won't mark his debut in Bollywood
because the Telugu actor had appeared in a
cameo in Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha's
2014 film Action Jackson in the popular
song Surya Ast, Punjabi Mast'.
Baahubali's magnanimous success has
already established Prabhas as a pan-India
superstar. His fan following is huge and his
screen presence is nothing short of the
Khans of Bollywood. While Baahubali: The
Conclusion hits the screens, all we can do is
wait for the big announcement.
