Prabhas made his presence felt in Telugu for 10 years as a star before Baahubali happened. He gave the films everything he can and SS Rajamouli's vision made him Globally known actor with star presence all over India.
We got an idea about how big his market is with Saaho. The movie even though failed in South languages, made profits to distributors in North India.
Baahubali Tamil and Malayalam versions, did make him a known actor in the States of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Hindi version of the film just exploded in North India by becoming the highest grosser for any film in Hindi markets, overshadowing Khans.
Now, he has a new language to conquer, which will ensure he will be a star for long-term, that is Bhojpuri. Some might laughing reading this.
But get this, Bhojpuri is mother tongue of many people in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and some parts of Jharkhand. And these people don't have flourishing local language market, still made careers of Manoj Tiwary, Ravi Kishan and few others.
If such people, the mass crowd, like Prabhas and accept him as their favourite star, don't you think, he will drive them to big screens in UP, Bihar and Jharkhand states, where population is also huge.
These are the single screen driven states still and with Prabhas films being available in local language, will connect with few more who missed his film in Hindi and will make them go for his next in Hindi during release weekends or 2nd weekend, which means there will be a run of 10 days, at least for him in mass circuits of Hindi belly.
So, isn't him trying to reach out to these people seem a clever and necessary plan? The actor's Saaho is releasing in Bhojpuri language not in theatres but on OTT platform, YouTube. More people might enjoy it there and give UV Creations a big enough audience base to open, Prabhas20 in Hindi!
