30 Jun
Summary
- Puri Jagannadh received expedited hospital care in Bangkok.
- Hospital staff recognized Jagannadh as Prabhas' friend.
- The incident highlights Baahubali's extensive global popularity.
The global phenomenon of SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' saga has been further illuminated by a recent anecdote shared by actor Prabhas. Director Puri Jagannadh received preferential treatment at a Bangkok hospital, simply by identifying himself as a friend of Prabhas.
While shooting for 'Baahubali 2', Jagannadh experienced a minor infection in Bangkok. A nurse at the hospital recognized him as Indian and, upon learning he was Prabhas' friend, ensured he received immediate medical attention, bypassing the usual waiting times. This incident highlighted the film's widespread international recognition.
Prabhas recounted the event, which surprised him and the film's team, who were aware of 'Baahubali's popularity in Japan but astonished by its impact in Thailand. The franchise's enduring legacy is being celebrated with a documentary featuring behind-the-scenes content and insights from the cast and crew, even hinting at the possibility of 'Baahubali 3'.
