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.
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 his 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.
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.
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.
