One of the most illustrious clubs in the Telugu Film Industry is the ‘100 Crore Club’. Many heroes desire to achieve this feat, some have come close, some have tasted its success while some others have become very familiar with it.
Having said that, there are very few heroes who have crossed the 100 crore share mark in Telugu. If the movie receives a decent talk or a ‘HIT’ talk, then it is not a big achievement to reach 100 crores. This is of course true only for star-driven movies.
But there are very few actors who can carry a film on their own shoulders despite the negative talk. And one such actor who has done this quite successfully is Prabhas. Even with disaster talks, not one, but two of his movies have collected 100 crores in share in Telugu.
Both Saaho and Adipurush had received negative word of mouth from the audiences. But even then, they ended up collecting more than 100 crores in share collections. Not only that, both of these movies collected more than 150 crores in gross collections in Hindi too.
But one thing to keep in mind however is that, despite this being a big feat, one must not forget the timing of these 2 releases as well. Saaho was Prabhas’ next film after the mammoth Baahubali franchise which put him on the map of Pan-Indian cinema. And Adipurush was heavily marketed as an adaptation of the Ramayana, so audiences pronged to the theatres to see Prabhas as Lord Ram.
Nonetheless, only Prabhas has managed to achieve this feat that some actors can only dream of.
