Meet the actor who became trendsetter of Pan-Indian films, is one of the most eligible bachelors, and is one of the highest-paid actors

Hailing from the vibrant city of Madras, Tamil Nadu on October 23, 1979, I come from a deeply rooted Telugu family. My father, Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju, has made a significant name for himself as a distinguished film producer in the realm of South cinema, while my mother, Siva Kumari, has dedicated her life to nurturing our home.

During his childhood, Prabhas resided in Mogalthur, a town close to Bhimavaram within the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. He holds the position as the youngest among his three siblings. Notably, his uncle, Krishnam Raju, is a well-known figure in the Telugu film industry.

Prabhas, the star of Baahubali, finished his primary schooling at Don Bosco Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Chennai and later attended DNR High School in Bhimavaram. After that, he chose Nalanda College in Hyderabad for his intermediate studies. Moreover, Prabhas also obtained a B.Tech degree from Sri Chaitanya College in Hyderabad.

Prabhas’ debut in films

In 2002, Prabhas made his film debut with the action drama “Eeswar”. Although it had an ordinary reception, he released another film titled “Raghavendra” in the same year. Neither of these films fared particularly well at the box office, but Prabhas’s on-screen charisma stood out.

Instead, it was through his captivating role in the action romance film, Varsham (released in 2004), that Prabhas achieved his significant breakthrough. The movie quickly became a box office hit, and he received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor as a result.

Prabhas’ acronym is the Rebel

In 2012, Prabhas joined the action movie “Rebel,” directed by Raghava Laurence. Although the storyline received some criticism, Prabhas’s acting and the impressive action scenes kept viewers engaged for a long time. Consequently, he was unanimously given the nickname “Rebel Star.”

After that, Prabhas persistently advanced towards fame, achieving more and more success at the box office. His first Hindi film role was in Action Jackson, released in 2014, where he appeared in an acclaimed dance sequence.

Prabhas’ rise to pan-Indian and global fame with Baahubali franchise

A significant achievement in Prabhas’s career occurred when he joined SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali series. This two-part cinematic masterpiece attracted not just domestic attention but also international acclaim. Furthermore, Baahubali eventually ranked as the second highest-grossing film within India.

Through the epic movie “Baahubali,” Prabhas didn’t just gain popularity but also earned numerous prestigious awards such as the SIIMA Award for Best Telugu Actor and the Filmfare Award for Best Actor-Telugu. Moreover, he was among the pioneers in establishing pan-Indian films, as “Baahubali” was well-received across various regions.

Prabhas’ dedication towards humanitarian and philanthropic work

Beyond being a highly acclaimed movie star, Prabhas is equally renowned for his heartfelt commitment to charitable and social causes. To illustrate, he generously contributed approximately Rs. 4 crore to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

In the year 2020, the individual took on a considerable amount of land within the Khazipally Reserve Forest near Hyderabad, established an eco-park dedicated to his late father, and provided financial aid to the eye hospital managed by the Lions Club of Hyderabad.

Prabhas is one of the most desirable bachelors

It’s important to note that beyond Prabhas’s impressive career accomplishments, there’s a significant amount of love, admiration, and affection he garnered as a person. His striking good looks have captivated countless female admirers worldwide.

Indeed, Prabhas’ personal life has often been under the microscope, particularly with rumors about his romantic relationships. Names like Anushka Shetty and Kriti Sanon have been mentioned in connection to him, but despite these speculations, he remains unattached and single.

Prabhas on the work front
