When Mahesh Babu and Prabash went unrecognized not only common people but also celebrities will be stunned. Hot Hunk Rana shared his experience when in Mumbai, when he spoke to his friend about Baahubali, Prabhas and Mahesh Babu, they sported a blank face.
Rana shared "I was away for a few years while filming for Baahubali, so when I met this friend, I told him about the film. When he asked who was playing the titular role, I said Prabhas, and he was like ‘Who’s Prabhas?’ I didn’t know how to explain that to him so told him the names of his few films. He had not watched any of those films and then he told me something really crazy. He said the only Telugu actor I know is Chinu’s husband. I was wondering what he meant and then I realized that Chinu was Namrata Shirodkar. I was shocked that they knew of Mahesh Babu in that sense. I told him just wait for four-five years, and an army of us will land up here,”
Now thanks to Rajamouli's magnum opuses Baahubali and RRR and films like Pushpa, Prabhas, Rana, Ram Charan, NTR and Allu Arjun attained nation wide craze.
