Happy Birthday Prabhas: Here are 5 unknown facts about Baahubali star : Bollywood News

I have interviewed Prabhas only once. This was just after the release of Baahubali. He was humble softspoken polite and likeable. Now, at the top of his game, Prabhas is quite a mystery to his fans.

Happy Birthday Prabhas: Here are 5 unknown facts about Baahubali star

Here are some unknown facts about him.

1. Nephew of veteran Telugu actor Krisham Raju, Prabhas made his debut in 2011 with Eeswar where he shared screen space with Revathi who played his stepmother. The two had some powerful confrontational scenes, a la Anil Kapoor and Aruna Irani in Beta. Revathy chewed up the scenes, quite like Aruna Irani. Eeswar bombed.

2. Long before Baahubali, Prabhas was a star, though not a superstar. He even did a film in Telugu with Kangana Ranaut called Ek Niranjan in 2009. Kangana had major problems with Prabhas during the film’s shooting. They eventually stopped talking to one another and the film was somehow completed. The producer even contemplated shutting down the shooting. Ek Niranjan was an average success.

3. Baahubali was planned with Prabhas from the start. When director SS Rajamouli told about the project, he was asked why he didn’t opt for a Bollywood A-lister to give it a pan-India feel. Rajamouli had patiently explained that it was a commitment he had made to the actor.

4. Prabhas charged next to nothing for Baahubali. That’s how the film was planned. The actors were required to withdraw their fee to the minimum so that the resources could be used to make the film that Rajamouli had envisaged.

5. So much has been written about Prabhas’s relationship with Anushka Shetty. So what’s the truth? Though they both deny being together, the truth is, they are very much together and for all practical purposes, a couple. The reason they cannot marry is that their respective families do not approve of their alliance. Neither Prabhas nor Anushka will go against their family’s wishes.
