From Prabhas To Rashmika Mandanna: 5 South Stars Who Enjoy Massive Fan Following Across India
Here is the list of South actors who enjoy a massive fan following across India.
Ever since 'Baahubali: The Beginning' was released in cinemas in 2015, South Indian films have started to be viewed very differently down North. The Hindi-speaking belt has started appreciating the vision some filmmakers from South have, and hence it is no surprise that some of the South Indian films work wonders in the Hindi belt. Over the years, movies like 'KGF', 'KGF: Chapter 2', 'Pushpa', and 'Kantara' have tasted phenomenal success all over India.
The times have changed so much that whenever a list of upcoming movies is made, you will see the list dominated by South Indian movies and 2024 is no different. This year will see the release of movies like 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Kantara A Legend - Chapter 1', and many more.
Fans are eagerly looking forward to the release of these films, and it is a testament to the kind of popularity some South actors enjoy in the Hindi-speaking belt.
In this article, we have decided to name 5 South actors who have made it big in the Hindi-speaking belt, or Bollywood.
So without further ado, here is the list:
1. Prabhas
Prabhas is one of the biggest superstars the country has ever seen. Ever since the actor starred in SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' series alongside Rana Daggubati, the fan base of the actor has just kept on increasing. The actor's movies open big at the box office and even the Hindi-speaking audience is very fond of him. Just recently, Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire' clashed with Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's maiden collaboration in the form of 'Dunki'. Prabhas ended up winning the contest comprehensively and it proves the kind of stardom he enjoys.
Prabhas has some of the biggest projects lined up, but nothing is bigger than his upcoming movie 'Kalki 2898 AD'. The science-fiction movie directed by Nag Ashwin stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Kamal Haasan. It is safe to say that Prabhas is here to rule for several years.
2. Allu Arjun
Allu Arjun has been acting for more than two decades, and he has been a big name in the South industry ever since he made his debut. However, 2021 started a big shift and the release of 'Pushpa' made Allu Arjun a pan-India star. The actor now has a massive fan base in the Hindi-speaking belt, and we can say for certainty, that 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' will wreak havoc at the box office this year.
Allu Arjun's Telugu smash-hit 'Shehzada' was recently remade into Hindi with Kartik Aaryan in the lead, and this shows the kind of influence Allu Arjun has had on the Hindi filmmakers as well.
3. Rashmika Mandanna
The actress has been touted as "national crush" for the longest time, so we don't need to write long paragraphs to describe how the actress enjoys massive popularity across India, the moniker makes everything clear on its own. The actress has starred in some of the biggest hits of recent times. 'Pushpa' and 'Animal' are two of the biggest examples, and she will be seen in some of the marquee projects in the coming years, so it is safe to say that Rashmika is here to dominate.
4. Yash
Rocky Bhai has swag and he likes to flaunt it! The actor has become a rage across India ever since starring in two 'KGF' movies. It is safe to say that Yash's popularity keeps on rising by the minute, and hence it is no surprise, that he has been roped in to play an important role of Raavana in Nitesh Tiwari's epic 'Ramayana', starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Lord Ram and Sita, respectively.
Yash will also be seen in Geetu Mohandas' 'Toxic', and it is being rumoured that he will be sharing the screen with Kareena Kapoor Khan. Whenever, 'KGF: Chapter 3' releases in cinemas, expect a festive mood across the country as well.
5. Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Ever since 'Family Man' Season 2 premiered on Amazon Prime, the Hindi speaking belt has woken up to a phenomenon named Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The glamorous actress enjoys a massive fan base, and well, who can forget her item number in Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa'? Samantha Ruth Prabhu is yet to star in a Bollywood project, but expect that to happen anytime soon, considering how entire country is extremely fond of her.
Samantha will next be seen in Prime Video series 'Citadel India' alongside Varun Dhawan, and who knows, this might open a lot more opportunities for her.
