Prabhas: The biggest star not Shah Rukh Khan or Rajinikanth

0

Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth used to be the superstars of the country till recent past years. Shah Rukh Khan gave memorable hits from Bollywood whereas Rajini did this from Kollywood. But Prabhas emerged as the biggest star and surpassed even these both in many ways to everyone’s surprise. Prabhas once again cemented his position as the biggest star with his recent release, Kalki 2898 AD.

Prabhas’ previous outing Salaar has impacted Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and posted big numbers at the box office worldwide. Many people credited Prashant Neel for Salaar’s success but with Kalki 2898 AD Prabhas proved his stardom as it is posting big numbers at the box office in all the languages. The film had a great performance at the box office this weekend.

Stardom is calculated in all the languages and now with Kalki 2898 AD Prabhas proved that he is currently enjoying it. The Actor has also proved that he could bring audiences to the theatres irrespective of the Director. He has also developed this brand. Kalki 2898 AD has already surprassed the 500 crore mark and is heading towards the 1000 crore mark worldwide. If this happens, then Prabhas can surely become the biggest star officially.

Vijay will soon be signing off from his movie career with H Vinoth’s project being his last. He recently wrapped his shooting for ‘The Greatest of All Time’ directed by Venkat Prabhu. Coming to Thalapathy 69 by H. Vinoth, there’s massive news with Samantha being brought on to the project.

Samantha is currently struggling a bit in her career with consecutive box-office failures in the form of Yashoda, Shaakuntalam, and Kushi. The actress has now got a big opportunity and will be paired opposite Vijay in Thalapathy 69. Directed by H Vinoth the film’s music will be handled by Anirudh while KVN productions will bankroll this landmark project.

The film will begin its shooting by the year’s end and post its release, Vijay will move on to his political commitments with his party- Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam(TVK).

Samantha and Vijay are one of Kollywood’s most successful pairings having delivered hits like Kaththi, Mersal, and Theri. This will be their fourth collaboration and with the film being Vijay’s last project, there are massive expectations on this one.

South Directors Bring Out the Best in Bollywood Stars

0

Out of the entire star cast of Kalki 2898 AD, it was Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan’s roaring performance as Ashwatthama that won the maximum accolades. Big B’s performance won the hearts of audiences all over the world and many felt that finally, Kalki was the film in recent times that managed to showcase Amitabh Bachchan in his true essence. His characterization and moments that elevated him were the biggest USPs of the film.

Amitabh Bachchan has done several big budget Bollywood movies in the recent past such as Brahmastra and Thugs of Hindostan and none of these movies managed to extract the performance out of the Bollywood legend like Nag Ashwin did. His screen presence, dialogue delivery, and action scenes elevated the movie to another level.

With this portrayal, many believe that only South directors can show Bollywood stars at their grandest. Nag Ashwin did that with Brahmastra and Sandeep Reddy Vanga did so with Ranbir Kapoor in Animal where we saw a career-best performance from Ranbir.

Not just this, but Shahrukh Khan’s roaring performance in Jawan was a true revelation and a major credit goes to Atlee for mass moments and elevations. Shahrukh’s mass avatar and energetic performance made Jawan an industry hit and turned Atlee into the most wanted director.

Due to these recent blockbusters by Southern directors, Bollywood heroes are showing interest in working with southern directors and earning a much-needed box-office success.

0

With Kalki 2898 AD Prabhas added one more sequel to his upcoming film list. He already has Salaar 2 in the making directed by Prashant Neel. This film is to be started by now but got postponed with Prashant Neel’s commitment with Jr. NTR. So, Salaar 2 would get on sets only in the next year. Kalki 2898 AD, producer Ashwini Dutt has made it clear that Kalki 2 shoot has been completed upto 60% and likely to go on sets as well. So, there might a release race between Kalki 2 and Salaar 2.

There is alot of CG work involved for Kalki 2. So we may expect the film after next year. On the other hand, Salaar 2 may go on sets lately, but Prashant Neel always makes sure he completes the film in the deadline. So this would make Salaar 2 to release in 2026 as well. Kalki 2 may also look for a release in 2026 along with Salaar 2. These may release in the second half of 2026 also.

On the other hand, Kalki 2898 AD is rocking the box office and has already broken the 500 crore mark worldwide today. The film is racing ahead towards the coveted 1000 crore mark worldwide in the full run.
