It's said that, 'Records are meant to be broken'. This actor may had a few bad years at the box office, yet his fandom remains unaffected. A movie led by him is always meant to be a crowd-puller, and he continued to do the same with his latest release. After SS Rajamouli's Baahubali series, Prabhas became India's darling, and he also became the first actor in India to score this unique record, a feat that even the biggest stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Rajinikanth have not achieved.
Prabhas' latest film, Salaar Part One: Ceasefire, has opened to bumper opening with positive responses from the masses. As per the early estimates, Salaar is expected to gross Rs 175 crores worldwide on Friday. With this, Prabhas has set a new record of scoring four Rs 100-crore opening at the Indian box office. Industry tracker Sacnilk posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the new feat and confirmed that Prabhas has earned four Rs 100-crore openings at the Indian box office.

Prithviraj Sukumaran on Dunki vs Salaar
Released on December 22, Prashanth Neel-directed Salaar has clashed with Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki. Prabhas' co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran opened up about Dunki clashing with Salaar. While speaking to India Today, Prithviraj said that the clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki doesn't bother him. He stated, “No, it [the clash] doesn’t [bother me] because I treat my successes and failures the same way. I walk away from it. There will be lessons that you will learn from both. Learn those, don’t let them go and then walk away from it."
