The Reigning Trend: Action-Packed Blockbusters
Of late, Tollywood star heroes have been reigning at the Box Office through action-filled films with heavy fights, stunts, and high-octane actions. Actors who made a mark in comedy are now soaking in full swing within the action genre. The trend seems to be shifting, and some top heroes are getting back to their comedic elements again.
Prabhas to Lead from the Front with a Comedy Comeback
Obvious would be the fact that Prabhas makes a comeback to comedy with his next, Raja Saheb. Helmed by Maruthi, this film is touted to be a horror-comedy, as officially declared by the makers. Prabhas, who has an enormous following as an action star, more so after the Baahubali series, is now trying his hands at comedy once again. The fans still remember the comic timing in Darling, which proved that he is a versatile actor. Maybe this is the reason that the makers of Raja Saheb are pretty confident that Prabhas will bring the same amount of comedy in this new venture, rekindling the magic of his earlier performances.
