Southern Comfort

Before the phenomenal success of the Baahubali franchise, Telugu superstar Prabhas had a 15-year-long career, with almost as many films, in which he reprised the role of the soft romantic lead in movies such as  Mr Perfect and Darling. Then, for five straight years, he immersed himself in SS Rajamouli’s epic. He learned sword-fighting and horse-riding, and convinced audiences that he could wrestle bulls with his bare hands and scale elephant trunks like it was nothing. Since the release of the two-film saga, he’s become a household name across the country, and inverted traditional Bollywood and regional cinema hierarchies.  Suman Naishadham travels to Los Angeles to meet the actor with the baritone giggle

Shahid Kapoor: Poised To Cash In On Everything That's His Due

Shahid Kapoor has that special, sometimes non-essential quality you find among Bollywood superstars: He has serious acting chops. But, film-wise, not much gets him excited, and not much has brought him the success he deserves. Months go by between movies. An arranged marriage announcement drops, a baby girl soon after. But this year, with collaborations with two intense, artistic minds – Vishal Bhardwaj and Sanjay Leela Bhansali Kapoor seems poised to cash in on everything that’s his due.
