Prabhas rose to massive pan India and worldwide fame after ' Baahubali: The Beginning ' and ' Baahubali: The Conclusion '. The talented actor emerged as a megastar after the enormous success of both films not just in India but also in many other parts of the world. ' Baahubali: The Conclusion ' raked in a whopping Rs. 121 crores on its opening day and collected more than 1700 crores at the box office, a feat achieved by none before, thus setting a trailblazing record. Despite being a Southern superstar, Prabhas is loved by the North Indians, too. People from the whole nation shower their love on the handsome star as they did only on one South megastar i.e. Rajinikanth .

Trade Expert Amul Mohan shares, "While most southern stars are hardly known outside their home state, Rajinikanth, for decades, has been the undisputed superstar who became a national phenomenon. Interestingly, 2017 has given us complete clarity on who we can look at to be a successor to Rajinikanth in the near future. While Rajinikanth still rules, the first name that comes to mind who is a strong contender to claim this title because of his nation-wide appeal is Baahubali star, Prabhas. The kind of superstardom he has earned across India and even overseas with just one franchise is unimaginable."

Where Rajini is loved by the generations, darling Prabhas has a huge social media fan following and his fans have him trending always. Prabhas is known to be an extremely shy person in real life and maintains a low profile and still is very close to his childhood friends and is still in contact with them. Such characteristics of Prabhas surely make him akin to Superstar Rajinikanth .

Many South superstars are still not known by their names, they are known by their movies, but Prabhas managed to do this only by working in two films and became a household name in the nation of more than billion people. The unconventional fact is only these two megastars are known by their names, they both don’t need any prefix of suffix before or after their names.
