Film Career
Prabhas started his movie career with Eshwar in 2002 about a poor boy falling in love with a rich girl. In 2003, he was seen as the lead in Raghavendra.
Varsham (2004) reversed his fortunes. He was cast opposite Trisha Krishnan. The film went on to become a huge hit. In Krishna Vamsi’s Chakram (2005) he played a cancer patient, which performed moderately at the box office. However Chatrapathi (2005), in which he played a rebel, with Shriya Saran was a monumental blockbuster.
The movies which followed like Pournami (2006), Yogi, Munna (2007) and Bujjigadu (2008) however failed to leave an impact at the box office. Despite these unsuccessful ventures, Prabhas continues to have a large, loyal fan base among Telugu people, especially among females and youth who have labeled him "Young Rebel Star" as a tribute to his Uncle.
In 2009 Prabhas was seen in Billa, which is a reworked Telugu version of the hugely successful bollywood film Don. The movie stars Anushka Shetty and Namitha and also Hansika Motwani doing an item number. He shared screen space for the first time with his real life uncle, Krishnam Raju Uppalapati. The movie turned out to be a huge blockbuster, giving Prabhas the much needed hit.
