Meet the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹1,000 cr club, not Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Allu Arjun
Star power remains one of the strongest indicators of success in the Indian film industry. A recent example is Salman Khan. Despite Sikandar receiving underwhelming reviews, fans still flocked to theatres, proving the power of Salman's stardom. This brings us to the only Indian actor who has achieved a box office feat that even superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Allu Arjun haven't. With not one, but two pan-India films crossing the ₹ 1,000 crore mark globally, this icon has set a record in the industry.
It is none other than Prabhas.
With Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Kalki 2898 AD, Prabhas has carved a place for himself in Indian cinema history, earning the title of the undisputed pan-India superstar.
While Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun, and Vicky Kaushal are among the biggest actors in Indian cinema, none of them technically have two pan-India films that have each crossed the ₹ 1,000 crore mark worldwide like Prabhas.
Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan were massive blockbusters of 2023, crossing ₹ 1,000 crore globally. However, Shah Rukh is still not the only Indian actor with two pan-India films in the ₹ 1,000 crore club.
This is because, although both films did cross ₹ 1,000 crore globally, they were primarily Hindi-language films with dubbed versions in other languages. Hence, they don't qualify as true-blue pan-India multilingual releases like Prabhas's films, which were not only shot but also marketed in multiple languages.
Similarly, Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise was a huge success during a lull period at the box office. As per Sacnilk, the film crossed the ₹ 350 crore mark worldwide but failed to reach the ₹ 500 crore milestone. Its sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, became the fastest Indian movie to cross the ₹ 1,000 crore mark at the worldwide box office, the tracker reported. However, it is the only film of the actor to have crossed that milestone.
As for Vicky Kaushal, although he starred in blockbusters like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Sanju, his latest, Chaava, didn't cross the threshold despite an impressive business at the box office, raking in ₹ 807.88 crore.
Released in 2017, Baahubali 2 became a cultural phenomenon. With its breathtaking visuals, grand storytelling, and Prabhas's powerful portrayal of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, the film shattered records, collecting over ₹ 1,788 crore worldwide and ₹ 1,030.42 crore in India, as per Sacnilk. It marked a turning point in Indian cinema, proving regional films' potential on the global stage.
Last year, he replicated the success with Kalki 2898 AD alongside Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. The futuristic sci-fi epic, directed by Nag Ashwin, brought Prabhas back into the spotlight. Based on the Mahabharata with science fiction elements, Kalki was a visual spectacle and a magnum opus in itself. Within weeks, it joined the ₹ 1,000 crore club, earning ₹ 1,042.25 crore worldwide and ₹ 646.31 crore in India, according to Sacnilk.
Friday marks 1 year since the release of Kalki.
Kalki revolved around the epic tale of Lord Krishna cursing Ashwatthama to eternal suffering, only for destiny to set him on a path of redemption by protecting the woman carrying the final avatar of Vishnu, Kalki.
The Kalki 2898 AD sequel starring Prabhas is already in the works.
The film ended with a title card announcing the Kalki 2898 AD Cinematic Universe. Confirming the sequel, it read: 'To be continued…'
Besides Kalki, Prabhas has several projects lined up.
He will be starring in the romantic horror comedy The Raaja Saab. Directed by Maruthi, Prabhas plays a triple role in the film. It also features Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt.
He also has Hanu Raghavapudi's directorial Fauji as his next. The actor was also roped in for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, which would have reunited him with Deepika Padukone. However, the actress has now been replaced by Triptii Dimri.

She wore a fiery red mini dress from AZ Factory's Spring 2022 collection, adorned with 3D heart motifs. Her confidence and sleek accessories, including a heart-shaped diamond necklace, completed the look. Move over, minimalists, Natasha Poonawalla just showed up at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded Venice wedding, and she may have been the most daring look of the weekend.

Picture this: Natasha sashayed into the celebrations in a fiery red mini dress straight from AZ Factory's Spring 2022 collection. Think strapless cut, sculpted tailoring, dramatic puffed shoulders—it was as if the dress itself was shouting, 'Here for love, and bold fashion!' The pièce de résistance? A torrent of 3D heart motifs blooming across the silhouette—an unapologetic nod to the newlyweds. There were vertical ruffles, pin-straight frills, and tassels swaying with every step, enough drama to rival the Venetian canals at night. And sure, the dress was loud, complex, and eye-catching, but Natasha's confidence? That was the real showstopper, making the whole look feel seamless rather than gimmicky. Accessories? She kept it heartfelt and sleek. A heart-shaped diamond necklace added just the right touch of sparkle without competing with the dress. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cuối cùng, chơi miễn phí game chiến thuật hay nhất 2025!

A bold winged eyeliner and mascara-fanned lashes added cheeky drama and framed her eyes beautifully. And let's talk hair: her sleek, mid-part ponytail looked effortlessly polished yet playful, wrapped with a satin red ribbon that tied back the whole look. It was the cherry on top or maybe the heart on top, given the theme. At a wedding literally about love, hearts, and a new chapter for Bezos and Sánchez, Natasha's ensemble screamed romance in the most modern, fearless way possible.

Meet actress who was abandoned by her father, made her debut at age of 12, worked in 180 films, net worth is Rs..., her name is…
The Indian film industry has seen many actresses whose performances and personal lives have captivated fans and the media alike. However, one actress stands out, not only for her talent but also for the constant attention her personal life received, sometimes overshadowing her film work. The Evergreen Rekha We are referring to Bhanurekha Ganesan, popularly known as Rekha. She began her career as a child artist and eventually became a superstar. Born in 1954 to South Indian actors Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli, her parents never married, despite their long-term affair. They also had another daughter, Radha, born in 1955. Rekha's childhood was tumultuous, marked by an absent father who refused to acknowledge her. This contributed to her decision to keep her family background private until the mid-1970s. Despite these challenges, Rekha was destined for professional success. Rekha made her film debut at the age of 12 in the Telugu movie 'Rangula Ratnam.' She later appeared in the Kannada film 'Operation Jackpot Nalli C.I.D 999' in 1969. That same year, she also acted in her first Hindi film, 'Anjana Safar,' which faced a ten-year delay due to censorship issues. Ultimately, her first Hindi film to be released was 'Sawan Bhadon' (1970), a major hit that established her as a rising star. Over her extensive career, Rekha has appeared in more than 180 films, including 'Umrao Jaan' (1981), 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' (1978), 'Khoobsurat' (1980), Ijaazat' (1987), 'Khoon Bhari Maang' (1988), and 'Silsila' (1981). Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, she was among the top actresses in Hindi cinema. More About Rekha In 1990, Rekha took marriage vows with Mukesh Aggarwal, an industrialist from Delhi and the owner of the kitchenware brand Hotline. Mukesh, who struggled with depression for a long time, took his own life just months after their wedding while Rekha was in London. This event deeply affected Rekha, leading her to remain single for the rest of her life. Rekha is a self-made individual with a remarkable career and a net worth exceeding Rs 300 crore, which includes luxury cars, a lavish bungalow valued at 100 crore in Mumbai, and various other assets.

At 89, Salim Khan continues to walk to Bandstand every morning, eat three parathas, enjoy dessert twice a day—and still be an enduring example of fitness. That's the kind of inspiration Salman Khan opened up about in a recent episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, offering a rare, heartfelt glimpse into his off-screen world. While Salman is known for his disciplined lifestyle, it was his admiration for his father's daily routine and spirited health that stood out. Salman shared that Salim Khan, despite his age, enjoys a hearty meal of 2–3 parathas, rice, meat, and dessert twice daily. Yet, his energy and consistency in taking his morning walks to the Bandstand leave the entire family in awe. He further expressed his pride in his father's discipline and metabolism levels. What does Salman Khan's routine look like? Reflecting on his own routine, Salman revealed that he practices extreme moderation in eating. His meals usually consist of just a spoonful of rice, vegetables, and lean protein like chicken, mutton, or fish. He avoids overindulgence and stays committed to a clean, focused lifestyle—principles that, he proudly notes, helped bring fitness culture into the Indian film industry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Plutselig ned i vekt – hva er trikset?
