As senior actor Krishnamraaju’s younger brother Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju’s second son, Prabhas debuted his silver screen with a 2002 released Telugu action-drama, Eeswar. Though his first two films, including Raghavendra, failed to impress the audience, Prabhas got a tremendous breakthrough with the romantic action film, Varsham, released in 2004. Later, there is no looking back for the macho hero in Tollywood as he saw a solid hit like Chatrapathi under the direction of SS Rajamouli in 2005.
Though his 2008 film, Bujjigaadu, in the direction of Puri Jagannadh, was not a commercial hit, it brought Prabhas a good following among the youth audience. Later, films like Darling, Mr Perfect and Mirchi became super hits at the box office and made Prabhas one of the leading stars in Tollywood. During this crucial period, Prabhas took a sensational decision and invested close to five years of his time in SS Rajamouli’s period magnum opus, the Baahubali series.
Though many openly commented that Prabhas took the wrong step, after the release of the Baahubali series, he made the negative publicity close doors as he attained pan-India popularity. As proof, Prabhas’ 2019 film, Saaho, which was not a hit in southern states, ended up as a money-spinner in the North belt and proved that Prabhas is no less than any Bollywood existing star.
As per the reports, Prabhas’ Net Worth for 2023 is estimated to be $29 million, valued at nearly Rs 220 crore. Reportedly, Prabhas’ monthly income is said to be more than Rs 5 crore, and his annual income is said to be Rs 70-80 crore.
Being a pan-India star, Prabhas is interested in something other than the advertisement world. The actor’s primary source of income is from acting in movies.
Prabhas has a significant collection of expensive cars, including a Range Rover Sports car worth Rs 60 lakh and a Land Rover worth Rs 1 crore. He also owns an Audi A6, BWM 7 Series, Rolls Royce Phantom, Mercedes Benz S Class, Jaguar XJL portfolio, and Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster worth Rs 6 crore. In addition, he owns a Royal Enfield Bullet 500, Suzuki Hayabusa, Suzuki Intruder, and Kawasaki Ninja H2R on his parking lawn.
Prabhas, a wealthy man, currently resides in a luxurious villa in Hyderabad worth over Rs 10 crore. He also owns guesthouses and valuable places in and around Hyderabad. Prabhas also owns hundreds of acres of farmland in his native village, Mogaltuuru, inherited from his forefathers. He holds a lavish house in Jubilee Hills, which features an indoor swimming pool, a well-maintained garden, and a super-premium gym worth Rs 1.5 crore. The property, which cost around INR 60 crores in 2023, spans 84 acres and costs around INR 60 crores in 2023. Prabhas also owns two farmhouses for escapes, and a swimming pool, playground, and gymnasium stand.
Born to senior actor Krishnamraaju’s younger brothers Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju and Siva Kumari on October 23, 1979, Prabhas is one of the three siblings in the family. While Prabhas’ elder brother’s name is Prabodh Uppalapati, his sister’s name is Pragati Uppalapati. As his father and uncle used to stay in Chennai as the film industry used to be there earlier, Prabhas did his schooling. They pursued a degree at various educational institutions in the same city. After his father died in 2010 due to cancer, Prabhas’ uncle Krishnamraaju became morally supportive of him. To date, Prabhas is not married yet and is one of the most eligible bachelors in the current generation of heroes.
Apart from soon-to-release Radhe Shyam, Prabhas has a few massive pan-India projects such as Salaar, Adipurush, Project K and Spirit in the pipeline, which is expected to be out this year and next year. Prabhas has been featured thrice in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list since 2015 based on his income and popularity.
Prabhas has received Seven Filmfare Awards South nominations and is a recipient of the Nandi Award and the SIIMA Award. Hailing from a regional Telugu language, Prabhas is ruling the Indian silver screen, which is the most outstanding achievement for the actor. I hope this pan-India star emerges as a pan-international actor and gains solid popularity globally in the coming days.
