Prabhas ascends as India’s leading bankable star with ₹1700 crore lineup

With five high-profile films scheduled over the next two years, Prabhas is set to dominate India’s box office. The star, who rose to fame with the Baahubali series, has since secured a staggering fanbase, as every release he stars in consistently crosses ₹100 crore on its first day. Despite mixed critical success post-Baahubali, Prabhas' appeal remains untarnished.

Following Baahubali, Prabhas ventured into ambitious projects like Saaho and Radhe Shyam. While both encountered lukewarm box office performance, his standing as a pan-India star remained intact. After the high-profile failure of Adipurush, Prabhas made a remarkable comeback with Salaar, amassing ₹600 crore, followed by Kalki 2898 AD, which surpassed ₹1100 crore. These successes have re-energized Prabhas’ career, bolstering his reputation as India’s most bankable actor.

Currently, Prabhas’ upcoming projects collectively boast a budget of ₹1700 crore—an unmatched figure in the industry. Leading this ambitious lineup is The Raja Saab, a ₹200-crore horror comedy, releasing in April 2025. Next, Prabhas will tackle the action-packed Fauji with a reported ₹300 crore budget, followed by a collaboration with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, rumoured to be his biggest project yet. Finally, sequels Salaar Part 2 and Kalki 2 aim to surpass all expectations with estimated budgets of ₹400 crore and ₹500 crore, respectively.

Prabhas’ prolific approach contrasts with other stars who adopt a more cautious release schedule. His return to consistent, genre-diverse releases positions him to make an enduring impact, with 2025 poised as a pivotal year for the actor.
