Prabhas's nation-wide popularity has received validation one more time. International cricketer Shreyas Iyer has revealed that the 'Baahubali' actor is his favourite South Indian artist.

Prabhas' fans are celebrating this endorsement by putting out posters of the actor-cricketer duo on Twitter and Facebook.

Shreyas was also asked about his favourite sports movie, which he said is the Hindi-language 'Bhaag Milka Bhaag'. What does he think about the legendary Sachin? "Whatever I say about him will be very less but to be honest, I started playing cricket by watching him play. He was a big motivation for me to pursue cricket," he noted.

Scoring 93 against KKR in a match he captained is his favourite IPL moment.
