PRABHAS CROWNED TOP GLOBAL ASIAN CELEBRITY FOR 2021

PAN Indian star and Indian actor Prabhas has been named as the number one Asian celebrity on the planet for 2021. The biggest Pan-Indian movie star beat off tough global competition to top the latest edition of the 50 Asian Celebrities In The World list, published by UK based Eastern Eye newspaper. The modern-day icon ranked ahead of global stars, including from Hollywood, the music industry, television, literature, and social media, for changing the face of the world’s largest film industry. 

*Eastern Eye entertainment editor, Asjad Nazir,* who put together the list explained why Prabhas has had such a transformative effect on Indian cinema and said: *“Prabhas has drawn attention to regional language films in India in a way not seen before. He has shown that Bollywood is no longer the boss and inspired everyone to release Indian movies in multiple languages simultaneously. With the fastest growing fanbase of any Asian celebrity globally, he generated big headlines and remarkable social media attention without trying. He quietly did amazing philanthropic work without speaking about it and remains the most relatable major movie star globally.”* 

Such is his humility, the down to earth star chose not to comment on topping the list and is very much focused on forthcoming films, including Radhe Shyam, Adipurush, Salaar and Spirit, which will accelerate the positive change he has been instrumental in. *Radhe Shyam director Radha Krishna Kumar* thinks Prabhas deserves all the praise and said: *“It was a dream like experience shooting with India’s biggest star like Prabhas on Radhe Shyam. The amount of passion, he used to come with on the sets was exemplary and a driving factor for us all. I'm thrilled for the audience to witness what magic we have created with Radhe Shyam.”* 

Prabhas is undoubtedly a renowned star who enjoys a global fandom. The actor's stature just keeps growing by the day. As the fans are very much elated to see him back on-screen in a lover boy's hat after a long gap in Radhe Shyam, Prabhas is all geared up to feature in multiple Pan-India films in different avatars in the year 2022 and 2023.
