Prabhas On Receiving Love From His Fans: ‘Will Be Very Careful That I Will Not Cheat On Them’

Superstar Prabhas enjoys a massive fan following. Fondly referred to as ‘Darling’ by his ardent fans, Prabhas has an immense and devoted fan base across pan-India. He has won hearts with his stellar performances and down-to-earth demeanour. His fans, drawn to his charisma and humility, go to extraordinary lengths to express their admiration and love for him.

Speaking of his stardom, Prabhas in a recent statement shared, “In the South especially, [the fans] feel like you are their family,” he said. “They feel everything. Sometimes they feel like you are their son, the kids feel like you are their brother. Sometimes they feel like you are God. So whatever is said and done, I will be very careful that I will not cheat them.”

The most remarkable display of affection is seen on Prabhas’s birthday. Each year, his special day transforms into a grand celebration across various states where fans organise events and pour milk over giant cut-outs and posters of the actor. Such acts of devotion highlights the deep connection Prabhas’s fans feel towards him, treating him not just as a film star but as an integral part of their lives.

On the work front, Prabhas’ eagerly awaited sci-fi blockbuster ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is poised to captivate global audiences when it premieres on June 27, 2024. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, in the pivotal roles. The film has already generated significant buzz and anticipation among fans.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Prabhas, set to star in the highly anticipated film Kalki 2898 – AD, revealed that the film is “made for international audiences.” Prabhas stated, “The whole film is made for international audiences. That’s why it’s the highest budget and we’ve got the best actors in the country.” Discussing his title as a pan-Indian star, he added, “We were hearing for the first time people calling me ‘pan-Indian’. That doesn’t really affect me but it’s a good feeling to think that people around the country like me now.”

Directed by Nag Ashwin, best known for the National Award-winning 2018 biographical drama Mahanati, Kalki 2898 – AD marks the first collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Prabhas.
