Prabhas shares how Puri Jagannadh got royal treatment
Prabhas attained international stardom with Baahubali and now speaking to scribes, he shared how Puri Jagannadh got royal treatment at a Bangkok Hospital.
He said "Baahubali 1 turned out to be a blockbuster. Six months into the shoot of part two at Ramoji Film City, Puri Jagannadh called me from Bangkok. He had a small infection and was waiting at a hospital when a nurse asked him if he was from India. When he said yes, she immediately asked, 'Baahubali?'"
The actor added, "Puri was shocked and asked if she had seen the film. She said everyone had watched it and even the doctor loved it. He showed her a photograph of us together and told her he was my friend. She immediately took the picture to the doctor and said, 'He's Baahubali's friend!' They skipped his waiting time and treated him immediately."
Prabhas shared "Puri immediately sent him a voice message recounting everything that had happened at the hospital. At the time, Prabhas was with director S. S. Rajamouli and producer Rama. While they were aware of the film's popularity in Japan, after hearing Puri narrate the experience in Bangkok, the team was left amazed by how far Baahubali's popularity had reached."
