Prabhas more commonly known as “Darling” by his fans is the face of contemporary Indian cinema, and he cements his position as India’s most bankable star with five exciting films in the pipeline, which are estimated to breach a massive ₹1700 crore in the next two years. Prabhas rose meteorically across India after the Baahubali franchise catapulted him to the top perch and helped set a new benchmark for blockbusters back home.
Despite minor setbacks which include the more or less disastrous release of films like Saaho and Radhe Shyam, Prabhas remains confident. His more recent hits with Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD has revitalized his career to new levels. One belonged to ₹600 crores, and Kalki earned over ₹1100 crores, thus creating a stronger influence.

Prabhas not just offers star power but also the acceptance to take on different genres for his future films. This adaptability could be what keeps him up there at the box office, ahead of the other leading stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.
The industry is indeed waiting to see how these experiments will resonate with the audience, and industry insiders and fans alike are eagerly looking forward to that. When one places significant amounts of money at high stakes, that also comes with a huge budget and an enormous fan following, as in Prabhas’s case, the possibilities do not seem farfetched; instead, he is not only set to regain his top position but redefine a new definition of what exactly it takes to be a bankable star in Indian films.
