Local star Prabhas has become nationwide popular post the groundbreaking success of 'Baahubali'. Besides garnering national and international honors, the VFX extravaganza was also a runaway hit at the box office.
The latest feather in Prabhas's well decorated cap is the honor of Madame Tussauds. The world famous wax museum has come forward to install the wax statue of Prabhas in its Bangkok branch, which hosts the wax statues of only two other Indians, Mahatma Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It seems that media of Tamil Nadu is jealous with this honor bestowed upon a Telugu star.
A leading Tamil daily has recently published a demeaning article on Prabhas's honor. It printed the opinion of Tamil celebrities. 'If Prabhas could get a wax statue, why not the same honor was bestowed upon relatively much bigger Tamil cinema legends Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan,' said the jealous media house. A few Tamil celebs allegedly recommended for the installation of wax statues of yesteryear Tamil cinema legends MGR and Sivaji Ganeshan too.
Honor as To be Gained, but not to Demand, What say Readers?
'Instead of feeling proud as a South Indian actor has achieved this rare honor, Tamil media is resorting to these embarrassing acts,' Telugu movie lovers rue. Will the Telugu film fraternity respond at least now?
