We never know when will our efforts start giving us results and how will they determine our future. Prabhas had been facing issues with his script selection till he came across Baahubali series. Till then, he did similar kind of action films that did not really give him any kind of box office mileage. Ever since, Chatrapathi, he has been waiting for one good film that can put him in the top spot. Baahubali happened to him and it changed his star status forever.
The movie took 5 years of his life and even made him postpone all his personal life events to just concentrate on the film. Even today, he is similarly focused about his next big film to continue the success but the efforts he put in for Baahubali were something special. His hard work and belief has made him a Pan-India star with a commendable fan following.
In a survey, conducted by India Today, he came in Top 5 most popular stars in India (male). People voted and participated in this survey. Ahead of him were, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Singh in third place, Amitabh Bachchan and Ranvir Singh in 4th place. He is the only South Indian actor to feature in the list and that too in Top 5. As they say, just keep giving your best, one day you will reach the stars. That is absolutely true.
