Prabhas Talks About The Importance Of Box Office Numbers Of Films

Mumbai, April 2 - Superstar Prabhas will be headlining some of the biggest Indian movies in the next 2 to 3 years. He became a nationwide sensation after the success of "The Baahubali" franchise in Hindi and later he tested the success with "Saaho" in the biggest Indian movie market. ## Prabhas's recently released "Radhe Shyam", however, couldn't do well at the box office and was declared a disaster. The actor is now gearing up for his next, titled "Adipurush", which is possibly the biggest film of his career. Prabhas called "Adipurush" more than just a film and sentimentally a very important project for his life. ## "Adipurush sentimentally is a very important project for my life. Om Raut, luckily I have a very good director. It is not just a film, it is something very important and everyone will be having a look at it. I was really frightened of it and is very important for me. It is something else I feel", Prabhas said to IANS. ## Even though "Radhe Shyam" didn't do well, Prabhas is still one of the biggest crowd-pullers in the country. When asked if Box Office numbers do matter to him, the actor said that it is important for him to see how many people liked his movies which can only be known through box office numbers. ## "Yes. I can't get every 'Baahubali' as a film. But the budget and the people's acceptance are very important. The box office can be told like that. It does not mean I break records. Nothing like that but how much I am reaching in every part, how many people are disappointed, happy, or super excited that I can only know through the box office. It (box office) is important", he added. ## Talking about "Adipurush", the movie is based on the Hindu epic Ramayana. Prabhas features in the title role, and it also stars Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan as Janaki and Lankesh, respectively. The film releases on January 11, 2023, in multiple Indian and foreign languages. ## Stay tuned...

The Hindi version was always going to be a key to the film's overall success and it has delivered big and is in a position to go long without much trouble. ## "RRR" will go past "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" to become the all-time highest-grossing Telugu movie. BB2 had scored 338 crores net in its lifetime run and "RRR" is likely to break this record by the end of the second weekend itself.

It also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris in key roles. ## Stay tuned...
