Today’s present age sees huge growth in the regional market of films. Films like KGF, Baahubali, Pushpa and many more have in fact made these South actors as Pan-India stars. They are no more known only to the regional market. There is a big name for actors like Nayanthara, Vijay Deverakonda, Prabhas, Allu Arjun etc. This has also paved way for the actors to have gotten some really lucrative Bollywood offers. However, there have been times when they have rejected Bollywood roles.
