Prabhas Birthday: Today is the birthday of Prabhas, one of the most well-known figures in Indian cinema. The actor, who was born in Chennai on October 23, 1979, has had a remarkable career in Telugu cinema. But Baahubali was the movie that made him famous both domestically and internationally. This magnum opus by director S.S. Rajamouli changed the trajectory of his career forever. Let’s examine how Baahubali influenced his rise to the big leagues.
Prabhas’ Early Career: Rise in Telugu Cinema
In 2002, Prabhas debuted in Telugu cinema with the somewhat successful film Eeshwar. He demonstrated his ability as a commercial artist with following movies like Varsham (2004) and Chatrapathi (2005). Prabhas gained popularity in the southern film industry as a result of these projects, but his fame stayed regional. Prabhas continued to work in action and romantic roles, but despite his talent, he had not yet broken into pan-Indian cinema.
Baahubali: The Game-Changer for Prabhas
The release of Baahubali: The Beginning in 2015 marked a major shift in Prabhas’ career. Prabhas played the lead in this spectacular movie, which was directed by S.S. Rajamouli and had breathtaking sights and an engaging plot. The Baahubali narrative was about a renowned warrior, power struggles, and ancient kingdoms. With his portrayal of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, father and son, Prabhas became famous throughout India.
The film was a massive success, earning critical acclaim and breaking box office records. Prabhas’ dedication to the role was evident, as he had worked on the project for five years without committing to any other film. The character of Baahubali became iconic, and audiences were in awe of his physical transformation and the larger-than-life persona he brought to the screen.
Baahubali 2: A Box Office Record-Breaker and Global Success
The sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), was an even bigger hit. It became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Prabhas’ performance was lauded for its intensity, and the film’s success further solidified his position as a pan-Indian superstar.
Post-Baahubali Films: Expanding Horizons with Saaho and Radhe Shyam
Prabhas became one of the greatest stars in Indian film with the Baahubali series. His versatility and appeal were further demonstrated in films such as Saaho (2019) and Radhe Shyam (2022). In addition to being a Telugu film celebrity, he is now well-known around the world.
In May 2024, Prabhas once again dazzled audiences with Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD. Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone were among the ensemble stars of the dystopian future-set movie. The film, which was praised for its futuristic plot and state-of-the-art special effects, demonstrated Prabhas’ versatility.
Prabhas’ Upcoming Movies
Prabhas has a lot of great movies coming up that will make his fans happy. He will make a comeback in Salaar Part 2, carrying on Prashanth Neel’s gripping story.
