From Allu Arjun to Ram Charan, NTR Jr: Telugu Actors Going Big in Bollywood [Details]

Telugu films are the latest craze of the nation, undoubtedly. There was a time when superstars down south including Chiranjeevi and Rajinikanth couldn't crack the Hindi film market. Many of these stars even went to do Multi starters to keep their Bollywood market going.

Even Rajinikanth - Shankar's ambitious project 2.0 needed Akshay Kumar to cover the pan India market. But it looks like things are changing and the main reason is Telugu stars. Be it Allu Arjun's Pushpa or Prabhas' Saaho or Ram Charan - NTR's RRR, Telugu movies are creating a rage at the Hindi box office. Interestingly, dubbed Telugu films are grossing much higher figures than some Hindi films.

Let's take a look at the five most wanted Telugu stars who are a huge craze in North India.

Prabhas

He is the country's first legitimate pan Indian hero. Post the stupendous success of Baahubali, even that Prabhas sign is massive, grandeur and national. Today, the name Prabhas has stardom across the nation. He is currently busy with three big-budget flicks, Saalar, Adipurush and Project K. An estimated Rs 1,500 crore is riding on his shoulders.
