Biography
Prabhas is the Salman Khan of the South Film Industry Standing 6.2 feet, the tall and handsome hunk Prabhas has the charismatic appeal and oozing sex appeal of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Like the six-pack abs of Salman Khan and bulging biceps, Prabhas too loves to display his bare chest which is cheered by his fans. Prabhas does his stunts and in Baahubali he crossed all heights of action doing some daring stunts like jumping from a mountain with a waterfall in the background, jumping into the flowing Ganges, daring war scenes like jumping on a running horse, stopping a wild elephant etc left the audience wonder stuck. Forget film buffs even Bollywood celebrities were in awe of Prabha's performance in Baahubali. While Alia Bhatt said – Baahubali rocks, serious actor Nawazuddin Siddiqi said that Prabhas is excellent and his performance is earth-shattering. Like Aamir Khan, Prabhas meticulously selects his film and does just one film a year like Salman Khan, Prabhas has a muscular body and a charming personality that makes him a perfect match for action cum romantic films but when it comes to selecting movies, Prabhas is like Aamir Khan. He takes long hours to pick one story from a bag of umpteen films and once he devotes himself to a film then like Aamir, he gives his best and till then he never indulges in any other film. Hence in a career of 15 years, he has done a handful of just 19 films! A look at his career reveals that from his debut film Eshwar (2002), he has maintained the trend of doing single films like Raghavendra (2003), and Varsham (2004). After the mega success of Varsham, he was forced to do two films in 2005. He did Chakram and Chatrapathi of the two Chatrapathi was a huge hit. It was with Chatrapathi that Prabhas came in contact with filmmaker R.R. Rajamouli. After this Prabhas had a lean phase but he made a comeback with Darling (2010) and even won the CineMaa award for Best Actor Special Jury award. Later he continued his stardom with hit films like Mr. Perfect (2011), Rebel (2012) and 2013 Mirchi. After 2013, Prabhas got completely devoted to Baahubali and kicked aside many good offers but the success of Baahubali has paid him all his losses both in terms of money and terms of stardom.
Career & Achievements
Baahubali has made Prabhas a global star To gain something, one has to lose something! This English axiom suits to a perfect ‘T’ to exemplify Telugu actor Prabhas’s devotion, dedication and die-hard enthusiasm to perform his character of Shivudu and Amarendra Baahubali in R.R. Rajamouli’s epic Baahubali – 1 and 2. Beginning from 2013 to 2017, Prabhas surrendered himself completely to the feet of filmmaker R.R.Rajamouli just as a shishya used to surrender, to the feet of his Guru, in the Vedic period. Rajamouli has admitted that he has worked with many actors but the kind of devotion that Prabhas displayed was incredible. He sacrificed his life for the film renouncing all worldly pleasures, similar to a sadhu, who renounces the materialistic world. He kicked aside many films and advertisements worth crores and even declined 6000 marriage proposals to keep his focus on his character! To get into the skin of the character like Aamir Khan did for Dangal, likewise Prabhas first gained 105 kg to play the role of Amarendra Baahubali and later he shed 22 kg to fit into the role of the character of Mahendra Baahubali aka Shivudu. To acquire such physique Prabhas went to the USA and interacted with WWF players. He spent much time with WWF players and closely studied their workouts. Impressed by their state-of-the-art equipment, Prabhas purchased the equipment costing 1.5 crore and set up an indoor gym at his house. He used to work –out daily for six hours. His breakfast included 40 egg whites (half boiled) blended and added with protein powder every day. Prabhas also erected a specialized sand volleyball court in his house to develop skills to work well with others. All his hard work and devotion paid off and he is today a global star from a mere regional cinema actor!!!
