Prabhas
Telugu cinema has produced a number of actors who have built substantial careers across regional and national audiences in India. Born on October 23, 1979, in Chennai, Uppalapati Venkata Suryanarayana Prabhas Raju — known mononymously as Prabhas — is one such figure, working primarily within the Telugu film industry.
Prabhas has appeared in over 24 films during his career in Telugu cinema. The media has referred to him by the title Rebel Star, a moniker that reflects the public profile he has developed over the course of his professional life. He is counted among the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema, and since 2015 he has been featured on Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list, an annual ranking that tracks the earnings and visibility of prominent figures in the Indian entertainment industry.
In terms of formal recognition, Prabhas has received a Nandi Award and a SIIMA Award, two honors associated with South Indian cinema. He has also received seven Filmfare Awards nominations over the course of his career. These acknowledgments place him among the more consistently recognized performers working in Telugu film, and his continued inclusion in the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list since 2015 offers a concrete measure of his standing within the broader landscape of Indian cinema.
Quotes by Prabhas
I will die trying to do another 'Baahubali' kind of film. It's not a film that can be easily replicated. I believe only Rajamouli has the experience and vision to handle projects on such scale.
It's an honour for the entire 'Baahubali' team to be associated with Karan Johar, since he is the biggest name in the country as a producer and director with his brand Dharma Productions.
I love Rajkumar Hirani's films. I saw 'PK,' and I didn't like it much... But I loved his previous three films.
Dubbing for myself in Hindi is a big task. I know Hindi. I can read and write Hindi, but I dont normally speak the language, and that is very important.
The way 'Baahubali' has connected with people all over India... it has given us recognition all over the country. It's a humbling experience. I'm thankful to the entire team.
