Prabhas Raju Uppalapati (born October 23, 1979), popularly known as "Prabhas" is a Tollywood actor and the nephew of Tollywood star and politician Krishnam Raju Uppalapati.

Career

Prabhas's early movies, "Eeshwar" and "Raghavendra", did not fare very well at the box office but he gained stardom with M.S. Raju's film, "Varsham", opposite Trisha Krishnan, in 2004. After the success of "Varsham", "Adavi Ramudu" and "Chakram" did not live up to the expectations of Prabhas's fans. However in September 2005, he made a comeback with the phenomenal blockbuster, "Chatrapathhi", opposite actress Shriya Saran. "Chatrapati" was followed by unsuccessful films such as "Pournami", "Yogi", and "Munna". Munna also starred Illeana opposite him. Despite these unsuccessful ventures, he continues to have a large, loyal fan base among telugu people, especially among females and young men.
