The Baahubali and KGF franchises have undeniably set a new stage in South Indian cinema, demonstrating that storytelling can transcend the confines of a single film. Their massive success has proven that audiences are willing to invest in multi-part narratives, leading to a wave of filmmakers exploring similar ventures. By expanding stories across several films, these franchises have not only captivated audiences but also inspired a new generation of directors to think beyond the traditional single-film format.
Building on this foundation, the recent successes of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD have pushed the boundaries even further. These films have shown that the appetite for expansive, high-stakes storytelling continues to grow. With their intricate plots and larger-than-life characters, they have kept audiences eagerly awaiting the next installments. This trend signifies a shift in audience expectations, as they now look forward to seeing how these complex narratives unfold over multiple films.
Among these emerging franchises, Prabhas stands out, leading three of the four mentioned films. His ability to convincingly portray warriors and action heroes has made him a fan favorite, consistently drawing crowds to the theaters. Now, as the spotlight turns to the upcoming franchise Devara, led by Jr NTR and director Koratala Siva, the pressure is palpable. The success of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD sets a high bar, and with Koratala’s previous film Acharya not performing well, the stakes are even higher. As audiences wait to see what Devara will bring, the pressure is on for Koratala Siva to deliver a hit and potentially redeem himself in the eyes of fans and critics alike.
