Prabhas Isn’t Prioritizing Sequels—Here’s Why That’s a Power Move
Pan-India superstar Prabhas is known for blockbuster franchises like Baahubali, Salaar, and the recent Kalki 2898 AD. While sequels to Salaar and Kalki have already been greenlit, the actor seems in no rush to follow the conventional franchise formula dominating Indian cinema right now.
Though production activities have quietly begun for both Salaar 2 and Kalki Part 2, insiders reveal that Prabhas is deliberately pacing his involvement, choosing instead to prioritize standalone films like Raja Saab (directed by Maruthi) and Spirit (with Sandeep Reddy Vanga).
While some producers worry that delayed sequels may lose public interest, Prabhas remains unfazed. He firmly believes that content and the right promotional strategy can revive any hype—no matter when the film hits theaters.
Interestingly, if his sequel strategy holds, Prabhas will return to a franchise sequel nearly a decade after Baahubali 2—a bold move that goes against the trend of fast-tracking sequels for quick box office returns.
By trusting the material and not just the market trends, Prabhas is making a clear statement: he’s here to build lasting impact, not just cinematic universes.
