Tollywood
hero
Prabhas,
last
seen
in
the
much-hyped
Saaho,
is
regarded
as
one
of
the
biggest
action
heroes
of
South
cinema.
The
39-year-old
is
loved
by
'Darlings'
due
to
his
rugged
looks
and
outspoken
nature.
Moreover,
unlike
some
of
his
contemporaries,
he
has
a
strong
pan-India
fan
base,
which
proves
his
star
power.
During
a
recent
interview,
Prabhas
said
that
his
height
is
one
of
the
big
reasons
behind
his
success
as
an
action
star,
and
revealed
that
the
director
of
his
first
film
Eeswar
added
an
additional
action
sequence
as
he
liked
the
way
Prabhas
carried
off
the
two
action
blocks
he
had
orginally
planned
for
the
movie.
"I
have
a
height
advantage,
that's
one
thing
I
have
which
is
an
advantage
and
from
my
first
film
which
was
17
years
back
with
the
action
my
director
planned
only
2
action
scenes
so
I
didn't
know
if
I
would
be
good
in
this
or
it
looks
good
on
me
or
not
because
there
are
so
many
aspects
involved.
In
this
first
film
only
after
two
action
scenes
everybody
liked
my
action
then
he
(director)
put
another
one
so
I
think
it's
something
which
suits
me,"
(sic)
said
Prabhas.
After
debuting
with
Eeshwar,
Prabhas
acted
in
films
such
as
Billa,
Rebel
and
Chatrapathi,
establishing
himself
as
Tollywood's
favourite
macho
man.
In
2015,
he
did
Baahubali,
which
made
him
a
global
sensation.
Baahubali
2
and
Saaho
helped
him
consolidate
his
standing
in
the
Hindi
belt.
At
present,
Prabhas
is
working
on
Prabhas
20,
rumoured
to
be
titled
'Jaan'.
The
film,
directed
by
'Jil'
Radhakrishna
features
the
mass
hero
in
a
youthful
new
avatar
that
might
click
with
fans.
Prabhas
20
features
leggy
lass
Pooja
Hegde
as
the
leading
lady,
and
marks
her
first
collaboration
with
the
Yogi
actor.
The
buzz
is
that
it
has
a
few
scenes
featuring
a
shirtless
Prabhas,
which
might
make
fans
go
weak
in
the
knees.
Prabhas
20
is
slated
to
hit
screens
in
2020.
