He’s the man the country is in love with today. After Baahubali, his stakes have gone very high. After all, the nation has never met any actor who has dedicated around five years of his life to just one film. After the release of the Rajamouli-directorial which went on to become a phenomenal hit, everyone wanted to know who this burly man from the South was. Well, Prabhas, came the answer.

And then, he became the most wanted. Endorsement deals, interview requests came by the dozens. But the shy man that he is, he turned down almost everything, except for promotions of course.

Well, but here’s what’s phenomenal. After endorsing an automobile already, where he’s seen in a blink and you miss appearance, the actor has been offered another endorsement deal. But guess what, another brand, that of a leading fitness related one, has approached him with a Rs 5.5 crore deal. Apparently, they felt that his image as the perfect masculine – fit and burly – was very apt for their brand and they were ready to even go a notch higher!

While things didn’t work out, as the actor rejected the deal, the truth remains that Baahubali has made Prabhas a very hot cake at the endorsement marker. Whether he takes this chance to establish himself like a “brand” himself like Mahesh Babu has done, or if he’ll just make a pass, only time will tell.
