Bahubali actor Prabhas. bahubali actor name and biography. Bahubali actor Prabhas movies list
Prabhas The Tollywood actor who played lead role in BAHUBALI Movie  is a well known south Indian ( Telugu ) lead actor who is highly admired for his massive looks and greek god type of physique.


Bahubali Prabhas height :   6.2 inches.

 Full name of Prabhas is " Uppala pati Prabhas Raju" and he belongs to the Kshatriya (warrior) community of Andhra Pradesh region which is famously called "Rajus".




Prabhas Family : He was born to Uppalapati Suryanarayana Raju and Siva Kumari. His father Suryanarayana Raju is the younger brother of the yesteryear Telugu lead actor " Krishnam Raju" who is famously called as " rebel star".

Prabhas is youngest son of his parents and he has a brother Prabodh raju and Sister Pragathi. His family hails from the village " Mogalturu" in Andhra pradesh from which the other top star of Telugu cinema " Chiranjeevi" belongs to. 


The family later moved to the city Bhimavaram in West godavari dist of Andhra pradesh. Prabhas was born on 23-10-1979 in Chennai city of Tamil nadu state.

Prabhas started his career as a lead actor in the movie " Eashwar" which was directed by " Jayanth C paranji" who was one of the best directors of telugu cinema in those days. Prabhas played the role of a mother less Slum boy who falls in love with the local sound politician and business man's daughter. The Movie got mixed reviews and played well at the box office. 

 Many veterans were impressed with his acting skills and gifted height and physique and he became talk of the town and was regarded as a best successor of his uncle Krishnam Raju.
Prabhas acknowledging thousands of spectators arrived at Bahubali shooting spot
His next project was with the great Tamil director " Suresh Krishna " who directed the Rajinikanth's super hit " BASHA" . Raghavendra too did average at the box office but again Prabhas added few more to his fan's list from the female section and this time due to the mass looks and the ferocious fighting script, he added masses too to the list. 

 The noted Telugu Producer " MS.Raju " picked him for the love story " Varsham" which revolves around the rain back drop and this one went on to be a biggest hit in the career of Prabhas. Since this movie was released during Sankranti ( Pongal) is considered as Film festival time in Andhra pradesh where big stars compete with each other to release movies and get big hits) and received success , Prabhas Raju became a popular star over night.

Varsham was a prestigious project as it had the highly entertaining music by Devi sri Prasad ( The Dinkachika Salman khan song fame ) and the actress Trisha who was very popular among youth in south India. The movie Varsham bagged two Nandi awards , one for the song " Nuvvostanante " ( it was the best song of the year).

 The movie Varsham collected 18 crores at the box office which was a high amount for a young star and that added spice to his career. 

Then the movie Adavi Ramudu followed by Krishna vamshi's Chakram went disaster as they had old stories and poor script work. These two movies questioned the survival of Prabhas as actor as his uncle was a yesteryear super star but at that time none of them were there in Industry from family to support him. The stores which didn't suit him well and the poor direction skills made his career to tilt downwards. 

PRABHAS CAREER TURNING POINT : That is when Prabhas was spotted by the Master mind Rajamoulie. Rajamoulie picked him for the lead role in the movie " CHATRAPATHI" . This movie was all about Srilankan refugees living in the Andhra coast camps run by a local Bihari Goonda who is supported by the locally hailed minister. 
The deadly looking villains , Wholly new stunts ( The fights at the beach / The fight in the ocean with whale) were huge hits and stood as trend setters in Indian cinema.

Watch the below fight scene from movie Chatrapathi, an epic fight scene in Indian cinema history. This alone drew audience again and again to Theatres.
YOU CAN SEE HUNDREDS OF FOREIGNERS COMMENTING JEALOUSLY ABOUT THIS FIGHT BUT THIS FIGHT INCLUDED NO DOOPS

followed by the huge mother sentiment in the second half made the movie to be one of the Block Buster of the Telugu film industry and Prabhas turned super star over night from a normal youth ful actor. 

 Chatrapathi collected huge amount in both US (south Indian viewers) and also in US breaking the old records of the Telugu cinema. The ultimate Macho looks and the concept of Refugee being crushed under the Labor exploiters who finally kicks the bad assess and turns the don of the local fisher men and other coastal labor areas. 

This concept attracted huge Mass audience and ran for more than 150 days in theaters. Chatrapathi is still one of the best movies to be played on weekends and get high TRP on TV channels. As usual, Chatrapathi too was followed by three consecutive disasters " Pournami" , Yogi and Munna ". 

 The three flicks were of different concepts and were not bad but however these could not match with the expectations of the audience which were developed after a huge hit like Chatrapathi. Prabhas was expected to act in an action movie with bigger concept and better scripts but all the movies didnt match the machoism of Prabhas. 

The movie " Bujjigadu" directed by the Puri Jagannadh (budda hoga tera baap fame) was an average grosser which gave a little relief in his career. The dialogues in the movie with his Coastal Andhra accent mixed with Chennai one was hillarious and one of the usage in the film " Darling" referring other characters by him went on to be big hit in the society and his fans are famously called " Prabhas Darlings" and not Fans. The movies Ek Niranjan too didn't do well on Box office and this too was directed by Puri. However the Movie " Billa" which was inspired the movie " DON" was an average grosser but showed the richness and was up to the machoism of the actor. 


Meet the Most Stylish and Handsome Indian Don
Then he took a turn towards romantic side, "Darling" in 2011 again welcomed with a hit directed by the Love specialist "karunakaran". This was a feel good musical love story which brought Prabhas closer to class audience. Then, it was followed by another disaster " REBEL" directed by " Raghava Lawrence" . This didnt do well at the box office and received bad reviews and critics. Mean while in 2010, he appeared in Dil Raju's flick " Mr.Perfect" directed by the Telangana film director " Dasarath Kondapalli" . 

This movie was heart touching family movie filled emotions and love. This collected too well at the box office showing his capacity of pulling both mass and multiplex audience. This movie was huge hit in multiplex. The last hit of Prabhas ( to be honest he could not do many movies since 2013 due to Huge monster film Bahubali) Mirchi was directed by Shiva Koratala. The Movie MIRCHI was also a biggest hit collecting 50 crores and helped the director to get a chance to work with Tollywood super star " Mahesh babu". 

Rajamouli after the sensational movie " Eega" ( Makki in hindi which is all about an housefly taking revenge) decided to go for a further high budget movie and decided start one of his dream projects " Bahubali". Rajamouli picked Prabhas as the lead actor and this movie is based on two cousins who fight for the kingdoms.
