Mumbai, 9/12: Baahubali star Prabhas has been named the number one South Asian celebrity in the world for 2021 by UK-based Eastern Eye weekly newspaper.
The 42-year-old actor, known for Telugu blockbusters Bujjigadu, Billa, Darling and two Baahubali movies, was chosen for his ability to draw attention to regional language films in India for the annual ‘50 Asian Celebrities In The World’ list, to be published on Friday in Eastern Eye.
Prabhas ranked ahead of many global stars from the world of film, television, literature, music and social media and stood out for changing the face of the world’s largest film industry.
“Prabhas has drawn attention to regional language films in India in a way not seen before. He has shown that Bollywood is no longer the boss and inspired everyone to release Indian movies in multiple languages simultaneously,” said Asjad Nazir, ‘Eastern Eye’ entertainment editor who compiled the list.
