Now that the whole country knows Prabhas, his journey from being a regional Telugu hero to the most awaited country’s favorite is just spellbound. With a single series of Baahubali, the actor became a national star right with the dubbed version. The number of fans Prabhas has now is well beyond numbers when compared to the locale Tollywood actors.
People are now already much curious about the upcoming projects of Baahubali stars, Prabhas, of course, occupies the first place in terms of favor.
Rumors flew across the whole fraternity about Prabhas’ entry into Bollywood. However, the actor dismissed all those comments. Only authenticated news regarding him is about his will to play a major role in Mahabharata.
Earlier, a various news channels reports claimed that Rohit Shetty is keen to cast the Bollywood heavyweight Salman Khan and the ‘Baahubali’ of Indian Cinema in a film together, which ultimately will be a most promising venture. Later, Rohit Shetty shut down the rumors by opening on the matter.
Now, after a while, news regarding the entry of Prabhas into Bollywood is going viral. Sources close to the prominent Bollywood director Karan Johar claimed that he was actually interested in launching Prabhas in his upcoming project. But, the remuneration he asked for the movie has left him startled.
“Prabhas had devoted five years of his life to the two Baahubali films and it was only fair that he would want to cash in on his new success,” said the sources. After all, now it appears like his price is his only enemy on his entry into Bollywood.
“But the price he asked for was staggering. While it was okay for him to ask and get his desired price — reportedly in the vicinity of Rs 20 crores — in Telugu cinema, it was unrealistic for Prabhas to expect that kind of remuneration in Bollywood. No South Indian actor, not even Rajinikanth, has that kind of commercial clout in Hindi cinema. Prabhas has clearly out-priced himself from Bollywood,” added the source.
On the other hand, the complicated tweets from Karan reveal his opinion in an indirect manner, he wrote, “Dear Ambition…if you have to achieve your full potential stay away from your arch nemesis….Comparison”, which is assumedly about Prabhas.

Now after all this has happened, Karan is denying to launch Prabhas. Sources read, “After Baahubali and its sequel, Karan was keen to launch Prabhas in Hindi cinema. But on seeing the price he was asking, Karan has decided to abandon the idea of launching him.” Meanwhile, Karan must keep in mind that Prabhas is already taking Rs 30 crores remuneration for his upcoming flick “Saaho” which is made of Rs 150 Crores budget.
Shutting down these rumors, Prabhas himself has finally opened up about the news saying, “there is nothing like that. Even Karan called me saying that some false news is out. We don’t have any bad blood. We have a very good rapport because we worked for four years in Baahubali. I like him as a director and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of my favorite movies.”
A few days back, it was reported that Karan Johar had offered another movie to Prabhas but the latter turned down the offer as well as he was busy with Saaho for the next 8-9 months. And now that Prabhas has refuted the rumors, the matter can now finally be put to rest.
