Acting Career

Prabhas debuted in the Telugu film industry with the movie Eeshwar in 2002. Much was expected from the movie, however, it failed to impress the audience and was termed as an ‘average hit’. Likewise, Prabhas also failed to leave an impression at the box office with his second release. His second movie, Raghuvendra, was released in 2003 and wasn’t well received by the audience. However, his next film, Varsham (2004), starring Trisha Krishnan and Gopichand, was commercially successful. Varsham marked his stardom in the Telugu film industry. Prabhas also won the Best Young Performer at the Santosham Film Awards, and his co-star, Trisha, bagged the Filmfare Best Actress award for the movie.

Following his success with Varsham, Prabhas’s next movie was highly anticipated. However, his next film, Adavi Ramdu (2004), received a hostile reception at the box office and failed to meet the audience’s expectations.

In 2005, Prabhas starred in S.S. Rajamouli`s Chatrapati, which ran for over 100 days at around 54 cinema theaters. It was a huge hit, and his screen presence was highly praised. However, for the second time in a row in his career, Prabhas followed a hit with a movie that disappointed his fans. His next release in 2006, Pournami, proved to be a failure at the box office.

Later, Prabhas appeared in Yogi (2007) and Munna (2009), which achieved mediocre success at the box office but was well-received by most of his fans. In the next few years, Prabhas starred in movies such as Billa (2009) and Ek Niranjan (2013) – both these movies did exceptionally well, and Prabhas also received a Filmfare nomination for his performance in Ek Niranjan.

After starring in a couple of romantic-comedy movies – Darling (2011) and Mr. Perfect (2012) – Prabhas appeared in an action film, Rebel (2014), directed by Raghava Lawrence. In the same year, the actor made his debut in a Bollywood film with a cameo appearance in Action Jackson, an Indian action comedy film directed by Prabhudeva and featuring Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, and Yami Gautam in pivotal roles.
