'I'm very lazy and shy… don't like meeting people at all. I am not comfortable in crowds. Even if there are more people than necessary on the set, I become uncomfortable.
Many times I wonder why I came into this field at all? But luckily I got a superhit film like 'Bahubali' and now I have no other chance.
Even though South superstar Prabhas himself has said these things in an interview, it is difficult for any of his fans to believe it.
However, this is the specialty of Prabhas. Despite being lazy and shy, when he faces the camera, he acts with full dedication.
Today, on the 45th birthday of the superstar, know the stories related to his dream, dedication and success…
Prabhas in childhood picture. He is the youngest among three siblings.
Prabhas is from a film family, father is a producer and uncle is an actor. On 23 October 1979, a son was born to South's popular producer Uppalapati Surya Narayan in Chennai. This son, the youngest among three siblings, was named Uppalapati Venkata Suryanarayana Prabhas Raju.
Prabhas did his schooling in Chennai and then graduated from Nalanda College, Hyderabad. Then he did B.Tech from Sri Chaitanya College, Hyderabad.

Otherwise Prabhas would have been a 140 kg businessman. Prabhas, fond of food since childhood, wanted to become a hotelier, but his family wanted him to enter films. Father was a producer and uncle Krishnam Raju was an actor.
Prabhas could not resist the stubbornness of both of them and he debuted as an actor with the film 'Ishwar' released in 2002.
Prabhas had said in one of his interviews, 'It is good that I became an actor. Otherwise I would have been a 140 kg businessman eating butter chicken by now.
Prabhas did 7 action films in the beginning of his career.
Made Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgan, didn't get noticed Prabhas made his mark in the industry with 'Varsham' released in 2004. In 2005, he worked with Rajamouli for the first time in the film 'Chhatrapati'. From here the actor achieved stardom.
Prabhas further worked in many hit films like 'Darling', 'Mr Perfect', 'Billa' and 'Rebel'.
In 2014, the actor also made his Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgan's film 'Action Jackson'. He was seen dancing with Sonakshi Sinha in the song 'Punjabi Mast' from the film. This film was a flop and no one took notice of Prabhas.

Fell numb in the name of going in front of the audience In the year 2012, Prabhas's film 'Rebel' was released. Prabhas, on the request of the film's director, went to the theater to see his reaction among the audience.
When the fans came to know that Prabhas was coming among them, they became more excited. Prabhas had told in an interview that he had become numb even before entering the theater that day. He felt that he was going to have a heart attack.
During the shooting of a film, a huge crowd of his fans had come to meet Prabhas on the set.
Prabhas' marriage stopped due to an offer from Rajamouli In the year 2012, Prabhas's mother became interested in getting him married. Prabhas, who was in a good phase of his career, also said yes to marriage.
Mother started looking into the relationship and meanwhile one day director Rajamouli called Prabhas. Rajamouli offered the film 'Bahubali' to Prabhas and asked him for 5 years.
Prabhas liked the script of this film so much that he canceled his marriage plans and accepted Rajamouli's offer. Before Prabhas, Rajamouli had offered this film to Hrithik Roshan.

Prabhas gave 5 years to 'Bahubali' franchise Prabhas gave full 5 years to Baahubali franchise. During this period he did not sign any other film. Didn't even accept any ad offer.
Regarding the film, Prabhas had once said that he could have given 5 or even 7 years for Rajamouli and his film 'Baahubali'.
'Bahubali' director Rajamouli had told in an interview that Prabhas had to face financial crisis during the shooting of the film. At that time, apart from this film, he had no other source of income.
However, after the release of this film in 2015, Prabhas's life completely changed. This film made him the first Pan India star. After the release of this film, Prabhas received 6000 marriage proposals from across the country.
Eat 40 eggs for breakfast, take tips from WWE star Undertaker Prabhas first gained weight for the role of Amarendra Baahubali in the film. He weighed 105 kg and maintained this weight for a long time.
Then for the role of Shivdu, Prabhas reduced his weight by 19 kg and became 86 kg. For this transformation, the makers had bought gym equipment worth Rs 1.5 crore to Prabhas.
Apart from this, the actor also met WWE fighter The Undertaker and took tips. During shooting, Prabhas used to eat 40 boiled eggs for breakfast.
Fairness cream ad rejected After 'Baahubali', Prabhas started getting a lot of ads. In this sequence, he got an advertisement for a fairness cream for which the makers were paying him Rs 18 crore, but the actor rejected this offer. He said that such cream ads are against his morality. It was also published in many reports that Prabhas rejected the offer of Rs 150 crore from a brand. He had some personal reasons behind this.
No hit for 5 years after 'Baahubali' However, after 'Baahubali', Prabhas' career went down as fast as it went up. After the success of 'Bahubali 2', Prabhas's film 'Saaho' was released in 2019, but it was average at the box office.
After this 'Radhe Shyam' was a flop and 'Adipurush' proved to be a disaster.
After the flop of 'Radhe Shyam' and 'Adipurush', Prabhas made a comeback with 'Salaar'.
Actors charge Rs 150 crore for a film However, the actor's career is back on track with 'Salaar' released in 2023 and 'Kalki' released this year.
Prabhas, who once charged Rs 25 crore for 'Bahubali', now charges Rs 150 crore per film.
Trolled for gaining weight after knee injury Prabhas suffered a knee injury during the shooting of the film 'Salaar'. Due to this he had also gained a lot of weight. When he came in front of the media during the release of 'Adipurush', he was trolled a lot due to his increased weight.
This photo of Prabhas went viral during the promotion of 'Adipurush', after which the actor was trolled for being overweight.
A whole room's worth of favorite dishes were sent to Prithviraj's daughter. Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, who worked with Prabhas in 'Salaar', had narrated an anecdote related to Prabhas in an interview given to Dainik Bhaskar. When Prithviraj was asked why everyone calls Prabhas darling, he said, 'Because he is darling. He takes complete care of everyone on the set.
I was away from home for a long time during the shooting. Meanwhile, my family came to meet me on the set. My 9 year old daughter told Prabhas about her favorite dishes. Believe me, that very evening I had to book a separate room in the hotel so that I could have the food that Prabhas had sent for my daughter. He even sent his Lamborghini for me, because I was missing my car on the set.
Name linked to 'Baahubali' fame co-star Anushka Shetty Talking about personal life, Prabhas' name was linked with 'Baahubali' fame co-actress Anushka Shetty. The news of affair between the two started when both of them worked together in films like 'Billa' (2009) and 'Mirchi' (2013).
However, Prabhas had denied this and said, 'Anushka and I have decided that we will not pay attention to dating rumours.
We have been family friends for 9 years, but ever since the rumors of linkup have surfaced, I have also started wondering if there is really something between us?
We know there is nothing between us. Whenever any actor works together in more than one film, it is said that there is an affair between them.
Recently, the actor's name was also linked to 'Adipurush' co-actress Kriti Sanon, but it proved to be just a rumour.
On the question of relationship, Prabhas and Anushka call each other their family friends.
