5. Prabhas Raju

To be honest, Prabhas was not the biggest star of Tollywood before ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’. He could barely make into the top league. It’s in fact safe to say that he was bounded by several shackles. But with The ‘Baahubali’ series, he broke those shackles so hard that those ripples hit Bollywood. And he made it look effortless, that is a point to be noted. There’s no denying that his popularity, from now on, will only multiply.

 

4. Prabhu Deva

The dancing maestro made a quick mark in South India with his breathtaking dance. He went on to establish himself as a master of many crafts by acting in many famous movies and directing few. Gradually, his fame grew national wide. Acting in movies like ‘ABCD’ and directing blockbusters like ‘Rowdy Rathore’ brought him enough fame to be called an established star.

 

3. Kamal Hassan

For decades now, he has been a standing example of the quality of Cinema South India can produce. Whether totally owning a role and driving a movies almost singlehandedly, or effortlessly showboating his skill by performing multiple roles in a single movie, which sometimes can extend up to 10, time and again he has proved that he is in a league of his own. It’s almost impossible to confine a highly talented and extremely flamboyant man to one language or one film fraternity. So obviously, Bollywood has had several experiences of his excellence from time to time.

 

2. Rajinikanth

Where to even begin about “Talaivar”. An artist like Rajini comes once in a millennia. I’d like to make a point here that actually, the general perception of Rajini among Northern audience is wrongly sold. Personally, I feel that few of Bollywood movies unintentionally gave away a wrong vibe about him, and there might be other reasons too But the fact is, Rajini is not just a commercial, over-the-top action hero. He is so much more than that. There’s no exaggeration in saying that he’s a man who influenced culture and lifestyle of a generation. Whether it his acting or his personality, he’s one of a kind. Probably sooner or later, I hope Bollywood audience will grasp his true essence. and acknowledge him more than they do now.

 

1. Sridevi Boney Kapoor

She is one of the few South Indian actors who managed to create long lasting impacts on Bollywood. Her famous roles in movies such as ‘Himmatwala'(Not the horrible remake), ‘Aulad’, ‘Banjaran’ helped her in gaining huge fame. Sridevi’s impact was so high, that she could successfully make a solid comeback with Gauri Shinde’s ‘English Vinglish’. Her recent movie ‘Mom’ gained decent approval. Hopefully, she’ll continue to make such great movies and entertain Bollywood audience.
