Uppalapati Venkata Suryanarayana Prabhas Raju ([pɾabʱaːs] born 23 October 1979), known mononymously as Prabhas, is an Indian actor who works predominantly in Telugu cinema.[4] Referred to in the media as the "Rebel Star", he is one of the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema.[5] Prabhas has been featuring in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2015[6][7][8] and has received seven Filmfare Awards nominations, a Nandi Award, and a SIIMA Award.

Prabhas made his acting debut with the 2002 drama Eeswar, and later attained his breakthrough with the action romance Varsham (2004). He went on to act in other commercially successful films such as Chatrapathi (2005), Bujjigadu (2008), Billa (2009), Darling (2010), Mr. Perfect (2011), and Mirchi (2013), winning the Nandi Award for Best Actor for his performance in the lattermost.[9][10] In 2015, he went on to play a dual role in the epic action film Baahubali: The Beginning which received national and international acclaim, and became a record-breaking box office success. He reprised his role in the sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) which rewrote several box office records and emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film at that point, establishing Prabhas as the first pan-Indian star.[11][12] Commercial success has since varied, with action thrillers Saaho (2019) and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (2023) emerging as box-office hits.

Prabhas is the first Indian actor ever to have four ₹100+ crore opening films worldwide, a feat unheard of in Indian cinema.[13] He is also the only South Indian actor to have five films that crossed the ₹100 crore mark in the Hindi market.[14][15] He is the first South Indian actor to receive a wax sculpture at Madame Tussaud's wax museum.[16]

Early life and education

Prabhas was born on 23 October 1979 in a Telugu family to film producer Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju and Siva Kumari in Madras, Tamil Nadu. The youngest of three children, he has an elder brother, Prabodh, and elder sister, Pragathi.[3][17][18] He is the nephew of Telugu film actor Krishnam Raju.[3] His family hails from Mogalthur, near Bhimavaram of West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh.[19]

Prabhas did his schooling at Don Bosco Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Chennai, and at DNR High School, Bhimavaram.[20] He then completed his intermediate education from Nalanda College, Hyderabad.[21][20] He later went on to pursue Bachelor of Technology (BTech) from Sri Chaitanya College, Hyderabad.[22] He is also an alumnus of Satyanand Film Institute, Visakhapatnam.[23]

Career

2002–2011: Debut, breakthrough, and commercial success

Prabhas started his film career with Eeswar (2002). In 2003, he was the lead in Raghavendra.

In 2004, he appeared in Varsham and Adavi Raamudu. He received his first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu for his performance in the former.

In 2005, he appeared in Chakram and in the film Chatrapathi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, in which he portrays the role of a refugee, exploited by goons. It had a 100-day run in 54 centers.[24] Idlebrain.com stated that he had a unique style and macho charm in his screen presence.[25] Chatrapathi earned him his second nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu.

Later, he starred in the dance drama Pournami (2006), the action film Yogi (2007) and the action drama Munna (2007). This was followed by the action-comedy Bujjigadu in 2008. In 2009, his two films were Billa and Ek Niranjan. Indiaglitz called Billa "stylish and visually rich".[26] Ek Niranjan earned him his third nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu.

In 2010, he appeared in the romantic comedy Darling which received positive reviews upon release. The Times of India gave a 2.5 star rating explaining "Director Karunakaran extracts good performances from his actors, but can't come up with a refreshing plot. It looks like the director hasn't really come out of his Tholi Prema hangover as he dishes out yet another one-sided love saga but fails to come up with a valid and logical reason to make a GenZ lad to hold back his feelings for his lover until the last moment. However, he compensates it all, by adding loads of fun moments in the film and the screenplay does have its share of some touching moments."[27]

In 2011, he appeared in another romantic comedy Mr. Perfect. The review site GreatAndhra rated the film with three stars and noted "The film comes across as a clean, family entertainer and the intention of the makers must be appreciated.[28] His performance in the film earned him his fourth nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu.

2012–2014: Continued career

In 2012, Prabhas starred in Rebel, an action film directed by Raghava Lawrence. Sashidhar from The Times of India stated, "The film belongs to hard-core Prabhas fans as the movie is stylish and visually rich but not much in content".[29] Purnima Ranawat from NDTV said, "Rebel serves up fare for the mass audience. The film will be definitely liked by Prabhas' fans. Watch it for the dancing talent of Tamannaah Bhatia and action skills of Prabhas."[30] Radhika Rajamani from Rediff.com gave the movie 1.5 stars out of five and said, "Working with hardly any storyline, director Raghava Lawrence had made a film that is arduous to watch... Rebel is a movie for the masses and certainly not for the discerning audience."[31] He also rendered voice for a short cameo for the film Denikaina Ready (2012).[32]

In 2013, Prabhas starred in Mirchi. Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave a rating of 3.25 out of 5, commenting that "First half of Mirchi is decent. Flashback episodes which occupies the lion's share of the second half is good. Climax could have been better. The plus points of the film are Prabhas, music and all-round orientation. On a whole, Mirchi has all the ingredients of a commercial potboiler".[33] Mahesh S Koneru gave his verdict that "At the box office, the film will turn in a good commercial performance", giving the film a score of 3.25/5.[34] Way2movies also gave a rating of 3.25/5, giving the verdict that "Prabhas rocks the show in this decent yet formulaic commercial entertainer".[35] SuperGoodMovies gave the film 3 stars in a scale of 5, reviewing that "Go and Watch Mirchi, It entertains both class and mass. It is a worth watch."[36] His performance in the film earned him his fifth nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu. He then made his Hindi cinema debut in 2014 in the special number "Punjabi Mast" from the film Action Jackson.[37]

Nineteen brave souls lost their lives that day, leaving behind a gaping hole in their community and a stark reminder of the immense sacrifice made by those who battle blazes. These weren't simply firefighters; they were heroes. Men who stared into the heart of inferno, their courage fueled by a deep commitment to protecting lives and property. They trained relentlessly, pushing themselves to the physical and mental limits, all for the sake of facing the unknown fury of wildfires. The Yarnell Hill fire was a ferocious beast, fueled by dry conditions and unpredictable winds. The Hotshots, following established protocols, deployed a tactic called "flanking,...

Goodbye old friend

 Open the history...'' https://www.highrevenuenetwork.com/xfdbxjnd?key=7aad7a655f8b8bf4fe7f7b5c81b4e171 The worn leather of the armchair sighed beneath me, the sound echoing the hollowness in my chest. Rain lashed against the window, a melancholic soundtrack to the goodbye forming in my mind. It wasn't a sudden goodbye, not a jarring screech of brakes or a cruel twist of fate. It was a slow, inevitable fade, like the last embers of a fire struggling against the encroaching dawn. Remember that summer, the one where we were fifteen and invincible? The air buzzed with cicadas and the sweet scent of honeysuckle. We'd built a fort in the sprawling oak tree in your backyard, a world of our own creation. We devoured dog-eared paperbacks and whispered secrets beneath the star-dusted night sky. Our dreams intertwined like the branches overhead, reaching for an unknown future, a future we were determined to conquer together. Life, it seems, had other plans. College took you acros...
