In a career spanning over 15 years, Prabhas was a mega-star even before ‘Baahubali’. He has acted in a gamut of Telugu films and enjoys a big fan following down south.
2. His relationship with director, SS Rajamouli
The Baahubali series marks Prabhas and Rajamouli’s third collaboration together. Earlier they had paired in 2005 for ‘Chatrapathi.’ But it is the making of ‘Baahubali’ that has made the duo the best in the business.
3. He dedicated 5 years of his life to ‘Baahubali’
Owing to his love for Rajamouli, Prabhas didn’t sign any other film during the filming of ‘Baahubali’ and dedicated the entire time prepping for the part.
4. He underwent rigorous physical transformation for his part
The actor went on with a strict diet and workout regime to gain 22 kgs for Baahubali and later had to drop that weight for the role of Shivudu. In ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’, Prabhas stars in the double role of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali for which he sized up to 105 kgs!
5. A voracious reader

Prabhas loves sports and prefers free hand workouts instead of hitting the gym. In fact, he had sweat it out at the volleyball court set up in his courtyard to improve his reflexes for the war sequences in Baahubali. He often plays volleyball with his friends because he considers it a good stress-buster. Prabhas is a fitness freak and considers rock climbing as the best form of training.
7. He is not a ‘paint-the-town-red’ person

10. He is a go-green kinda guy
Prabhas loves the wild flora and fauna and is a huge fan of birds. In fact, he has a garden full of chirping ones!
