'Salaar' crucial for Prabhas. Initial euphoria a testimony of his stardom: Experts
India TodaySS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' created history in Indian cinema with his larger-than-life canvas and intriguing storyline. Sharing that he's adept with the mass-action genre, which is also Prabhas' strength, the film could help him redeem his career: "Prabhas has been going through a rough patch after Baahubali 2. If 'Salaar's' content matches the hype or even if it passes the minimum threshold, this could be it for Prabhas," Ramesh Bala told IndiaToday.in. Even with Prabhas, while his films failed, his stardom was in place, and that will continue to be the case, regardless of 'Salaar's' fate at the box office." Ramesh Bala mentioned that given there is no clarity about 'Kalki's' genre, and sci-fi is still not explored in Indian cinema, 'Salaar's performance would have a repercussion on Prabhas' next film.
