SS Rajamouli and Prabhas are two big brands in Telugu and Indian Cinema, today. Both of them have achieved National wide fame with Baahubali films.Prabhas being the face of the character, his image will have higher market value than others, obviously and that’s seen with Saaho too.
Saaho took a huge opening and even collected close to Rs. 90 crores in Telugu states and crossed Rs. 100 crores Nett in Hindi markets.
Prabhas proved his box office pull with Saaho kind of a week film but SS Rajamouli took his time to let the Baahubali wave die and then annouced another stormy sensational combination, a film with Jr. NTR and Ram Charan together.
RRR has achieved hype and national media attention just with the annoucement. Now, aa both are ready for release and hopefully release on 7th January, 2022 and 14th January, 2022 respectively, without any delay, then we can see whose brand image – Rajamouli’s or Prabhas’s has more marketability in Hindi markets.
In South States, definitely Rajamouli combined with Ram Charan, Jr. NTR will create a tsunami. But in North, only Rajamouli has greater image.Looks like Baahubali creators will have to fight it out during Sankranti 2022 for upper hand in Hindi markets. It will be interesting to see if viewers prefer director’s film or an actor’s film to watch.
