Prabhas was one of the biggest names in the Telugu film industry before 2015. In 2015, he acted in the SS Rajamouli directorial, Baahubali: The Beginning, and became a national phenomenon. And with Baahubali: The Conclusion In 2017, he became a global hysteria. And this global hysteria turns 40 today, on October 23, and fans have flooded the social media with wishes and messages. 

Also, his last release, Saaho, a trilingual action potboiler that was made at a tentative budget of Rs 400 crore, despite negative reviews from critics, turned out to be a commercial success. The audiences weren't concerned with the coherence of the plot, all they wanted to see was the leading man in his maiden outing post the cult of the aforementioned period drama. His clout quadrupled overnight and the sensation that followed was unprecedented. We don't see such craze too often!
