Prabhas

Fans are in for a new year treat as the 'Baahubali' star features in the no-holds-barred chat show, 'Unstoppable 2 with NBK' hosted by the inimitable Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK). Prabhas recently made an appearance on the popular chat show streaming on aha OTT platform.

The look was released on Sunday to coincide with the birthday of the actor who plays the lead in the film. The film is scheduled to hit screens worldwide on January 12 next year and will also be available in 3D. Prabhas, who shared his look in the film on social media, wrote: "Maryada Purushottam Prabhu Shree Ram. 'Adipurush' releases in theatres on January 12, 2023, in IMAX & 3D!"

Lav Kush Ramlila Committee Secretary Arjun Kumar, in a statement, said: "Prabhas played Lord Rama in 'Adipurush' and thus we thought to invite him as a chief guest along with the President of India and the Delhi Chief Minister. All three will shoot the arrows to kill Ravana in Ramlila."

The makers of 'Adipurush', which has been directed by Om Raut, have spent a fortune on the visual effects. The film has reportedly been made on a budget of over INR 400 crores, most of which has been spent on the VFX but, it seems like the output is far from what the audience was expecting.

"Adipurush" is Raut's take on the 'Ramayana' by Valmiki. The film is set 7,000 years ago and in the film, Prabhas's character is not called Lord Ram, he is Raghav, which is another name for Ram. Sita, played by Kriti Sanon, is called Janaki (as in King Janaka's daughter), while Saif Ali Khan's Ravana is Lankesh (lord of Lanka), which are also derivatives of their 'Ramayana' names, notes 'Variety'.

In comparing 'Project K' to 'Avengers,' Ashwini Dutt praises the film's amazingness and alludes to its opulence, which stars Prabhas and Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. "America and China will be our primary target markets, as we are prepared to introduce this movie to as many worldwide markets as we can", Ashwini Dutt said, when speaking about 'Project K'.

Prabhas's physique in Baahubali was a trendsetter and remains etched in viewers' minds even seven years after film was released.  Right from the rigorous training to an elaborate diet plan, the actor managed to pull off a kind of physique that nobody has ever imagined. 

Prabhas posted a picture of himself with Prashanth Neel on Instagram. Taking to his caption, the star composed: "Here's wishing a very Happy Birthday to you @prashanthneel! To happiness and success, always. See you soon! #Salaar." In the pic, Prabhas and Prashanth Neel can be seen having a happy moment. Prashanth Neel and Prabhas are currently filming 'Salaar', one of the most anticipated pan-Indian films of the year.

The stream of pan-India movies starring male actors from South Indian states throws the spotlight on a breed of new gen stars like Dhanush, Dulqer Salman, Ram Charan, NTR, Yash, Sudeep, Prabhas, Rana, Vijay Devarakonda, and Allu Arjun. First it was Telugu stars Prabhas and Rana that captured the imagination of an entire nation when ace director SS Rajamouli's epic 'Bahubali' unleashed its magic in two instalments.

'Baahubali: The Beginning' released in 2015. The Indian epic action drama film is directed by S.S. Rajamouli. It also stars Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj, and Nassar. The first of two cinematic parts, the film follows Shivudu / Shiva, an adventurous young man who helps his love Avanthika rescue Devasena, the former queen of Mahishmati who is now a prisoner under the tyrannical rule of king Bhallaladeva. The story concludes in 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion'.
