With a Rs 1000 crore grossing blockbuster behind him, Prabhas is the hottest star in India right now. Apart from filmmakers, the actor is also being chased by brands to endorse their products and what’s more, they’re willing to pay big bucks to get the man who played Baahubali associated with their brand.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, all the big brands have been queuing up to sign on Prabhas as their brand ambassador. However, the actor isn’t interested and has declined endorsement deals worth crores. Prabhas’ spokesperson has said that the actor has “declined a whopping 18 crore worth of brand endorsement”.

The 37-year-old actor was chased by popular brands earlier too. Baahubali director SS Rajamouli had revealed that Prabhas had refused an endorsement deal worth Rs 10 crore after the release of Baahubali: The Beginning, while he was still shooting for Baahubali: The Conclusion, because he wanted to concentrate on his big film.
But there is good news for fans of Prabhas and the big brand managers too. The actor has apparently agreed to endorse a leading vehicle brand. Prabhas is currently on a month-long break in the US and a source close to the actor says that he will focus totally on his upcoming film Saaho once he returns. Prabhas has also been offered a few Bollywood films and he is yet to take a decision on them.
