Prabhas Is Not Pan-India Star, He�s Pan-World Star

The debate around Telugu superstar Prabhas being called �India�s Biggest Superstar� has been one of the most talked-about topics in recent months. Especially after Sandeep Reddy Vanga announced on the title-tease of �Spirit� that Prabhas is India�s biggest superstar, the Bollywood folks are unable to digest. That came out at the Raja Saab press meet the other day in Hyderabad.

To give them a peek into Raja Saab�s grandeur, the film�s team took a lot of national-level film journalists to the specially built palace set of the movie at Azeez Nagar, Hyderabad the other day. During that time, a Bollywood journalist asked if Maruthi also thinks that Prabhas is India�s biggest superstar, when there are many others.

Director Maruthi, who is at the helm of The Raja Saab, has weighed in on the question, offering a stunning reply amid national media coverage and fan debates. While he didn�t directly get into comparing actors, he said, �Prabhas is not a Pan-India Superstar or India�s Biggest Superstar, but he is a Pan-World Star. He has fans in Japan too, and you might have seen that when he�s been to Japan recently.�

At a time, the whole of India is watching The Raja Saab closely, with its January 9th release around the corner, these comments by Maruthi are surely setting the ball rolling into a bigger boulder. Of course, with back-to-back deliveries, in terms of numbers, with Baahubali, Saaho, Kalki 2898 AD, one wonders why Prabhas is not India�s biggest Superstar.
