Prabhas is considered the biggest brand ambassador among actors for Tollywood on the national stage. The fact has been confirmed by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

Speaking at an event in Hyderabad the other day, the BJP leader said that, in the past, people in the North would know only of NT Rama Rao from Telugu cinema. But now, Prabhas has become a household name, he suggested. The video clip is going viral, especially among the fans of the 'Radhe Shyam' actor. They are saying that Prabhas' fame in the hinterland will only rise with the arrival of 'Adipurush' next year.

The MP CM also said that Telugu cinema has given a new direction to Indian cinema. He didn't take the names of 'RRR' and 'Pushpa: The Rise', but it is clear that his speech can be seen as a celebration of the pan-India hits.

SS Rajamouli, among filmmakers, commands the sort of fame that Prabhas has on the national stage. Between them, they have scripted Baahubalian popularity for themselves.
