Mumbai: The Baahubali series set the record of becoming the biggest grossing blockbuster in the country. However, Prabhas feels the record can be broken any Friday as the storytellers are coming up with great content these days.
In a recent media interaction, Prabhas said any filmmaker with a strong storyline can set new benchmarks today.
"That record is going to change any Friday. The record is just a start, not the end. Some filmmaker from Gujarat or West Bengal can make a film which will beat everything we have. A Kannada film 'KGF' came and did good business too."
Prabhas also said that after the magnum success of the Baahubali series made everyone realize that a well-made film can do wonders.
"Now every director knows he or she can make a film and release it around the country. If the film is good, it'll work. There is such great cinema being made across (the states) and it's a good time for everyone," he added.

The Mirchi actor also believes that stars don't need to feature in larger-than-life films to succeed.
Citing the example of Salman Khan who can pull off any character with ease, Prabhas said, "Salman Khan is an action hero who did 'Wanted' and 'Dabangg' but even a 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', where he doesn't fight, was a blockbuster. The story should be intriguing and that's it. The audience today will accept a good story."
Prabhas turned down a few Bollywood offers as he had already committed to his upcoming big release Saaho.
The actor will be seen delivering dialogues in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. While Tamil and Telugu were not a problem for him, Prabhas had to pay attention to Hindi since he was very new to the language.
Talking about the simultaneous shooting in three different languages, Prabhas said, "In Tamil and Telugu, the flow of your dialogues are largely similar. But in Hindi, it's reversed. The emphasis on how a sentence would start and end is different, so I had to keep that in mind. When that happens, your body language also changes."
Helmed by Sujeeth, Saaho is jointly produced by T-series and UV Creations. It also marks Shraddha Kapoor's debut into the south film industry.
Saaho which is touted as India's biggest action-thriller will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on August 30.
