Ahead of Salaar, let’s look at all-time 5 best movies of South superstar Prabhas

Prabhas, the South actor known for his massive biceps, ‘chocolate-boy’ smile, and impressive filmography, is no longer just a Telugu superstar; his stardom and fan following extends across India and even the world. You could argue that Baahubali’s massive success had a lot to do with it. True, the film did cast a spell on the audience. But to attribute Prabhas’ popularity solely to this one film would be unfair. The actor has done enough to demonstrate both his range as a performer and his knack for selecting interesting scripts over the course of his two-decade-long film career.

As the South superstar gears up for the bigwig release of his most awaited film Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire, let’s look at his all-time best performances. We have curated a special list of the best five movies of the Pan-Indian actor. If you are a fan of the actor, then you must have already watched these films, save this list for a re-watch session.
