Alia Bhatt's Favorite South Indian Star

Alia Bhatt is all set to make her South Indian film debut with SS Rajamouli’s RRR featuring Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles. In a recent media interaction when Alia Bhatt was asked to name her favorite South Indian star, without thinking twice, she named Prabhas.

Post the global reach of the Baahubali franchise, Prabhas is no longer a South Indian actor as his popularity has transcended boundaries. The massive success of Saaho in the Hindi belt is the testimony to the universal stardom of this actor. Prabhas is known for his kind-heartedness and zero-attitude.

Fans were amazed to hear this as they were expecting Alia Bhatt to name Ram Charan or Jr NTR as she is sharing the screen space with them in RRR. Alia Bhatt said, “I like Prabhas a lot. His performance and screen presence in Baahubali series are awesome.”

She further added, “I became his die-hard fan after watching Baahubali.”

On the work front, Prabhas is busy with his upcoming movie directed by Radha Krishna Kumar. Touted to be a period drama, the untitled movie is set against the backdrop of Paris in the 1920s and the protagonist will reportedly be seen as a fortune-teller. While Pooja Hegde is playing the love interest to Prabhas, Bollywood actress Bhagyashree will be seen as his mother. Besides this project, Prabhas has also signed his next movie with ‘Mahanati’ fame Nag Ashwin.
