The popularity of Baahubali is unprecedented. Whoever has been associated with it has only benefited from it. They have become popular along with the film, though not as much as the film. 'Kalakeya' Prabhakar and Adivi Sesh are prime examples. They are now recognized by the Telugus and Tamils wherever they go, even in Western countries.

As for Prabhas, he has become a pan-Indian star. Many Bollywood actors recognize him by his name. The news is that the Governor of Kenya has written a letter to Prabhas when the actor, along with his friends, went to a reserve forest to spend some fun time.

When the Governor came to know the truth, he wrote a letter saying that that he would be happy if a Prabhas film is shot in Kenya in future. The Governor also made it a point to say that he too was waiting for the release of Baahubali.
