Post-Baahubali franchise, Prabhas got pan-India stardom. Cashing in on the craze, Prabhas’ home banner UV Creations announced two back to back projects with the star. While one of them is Saaho under the direction of Sujeeth, the other one is Radhe Shyam with Jil fame Radha Krishna Kumar.
Released in 2019, Saaho failed to impress Prabhas fans in Telugu states but the film got good revenues from the North belt. Coming to Radhe Shyam, the film had a theatrical release on a pan-India scale but has been receiving poor reports from all quarters. Poor writing and slow-paced narration with flat proceedings are the main demerits for Radhe Shyam, opinion critics and moviegoers. With two back to back disappointments from Prabhas, his fans are frustrated and worried about his stardom and wrong choice of films.
Though the star hero has a couple of pan-India projects like Adipurush, Salaar, Project K and Spirit in the pipeline, for the past few months news been circulating among industry circles is that giving a break to the pan-India films, Prabhas will be joining forces with commercial entertainers specialist Maruthi for a quicker. Reportedly, the film has high chances to go on the floors from April itself. If the news turns into reality, will at least Maruthi satisfy Prabhas fans? Remains to be seen.
