Japanese fans gave a thunderous welcome to superstar Prabhas when he arrived in Tokyo for a special screening of Baahubali: The Epic, a combined re-release of both parts of the legendary franchise, ahead of its official theatrical release in the country on December 12.
The event reportedly drew large crowds, with fans lining up to meet the actor in person — many expressing excitement to finally see him after years of admiration. After the screening, Prabhas addressed the audience with a heartfelt message, saying: “Thanks for the love I’ve been hearing about Japan for the last ten years. Finally I see you all.”
For Prabhas, the visit was more than just promotion he described it as a dream come true. He noted that fans in Japan have shown remarkable affection for his work and expressed a hope to visit “every year” to connect with them again.
This warm reception underlines how the Baahubali saga and Prabhas as its lead continues to enjoy strong global appeal, transcending language and geographic boundaries. Many industry watchers view this moment as a milestone in Indian cinema’s growing outreach to East Asian audiences, especially in Japan.
