Global Prabhas Day Instagram Filter:

Last year, Instagram even came up with a “Global Prabhas Day” filter ahead of his birthday. Which when used revealed the poster of his new film and even played mellow music from his movie.

Waxed for Life:

In 2017, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum put up his wax replica. He is the only South Indian star to have one. This puts him in the company of the most revered international stars globally.

Star of the Common People:

Prabhas has a reputation of being shy, kind and down to earth. He has gone out of his way to meet up a specially abled fan and even invited him to his shooting and shared his number with him. If fans love him, Prabhas loves his fans too. That’s the man of gold.

 

Some Prabhas crazy fans have gone over the board on his birthday and in fact any other day to celebrate the star and done these unimaginable things too :

The Bahubali Thali:

The Patel brothers, who happen to be fans of Prabhas and owners of the Rajwadu restaurant in Ahmedabad named their big thali with a king size platter as the Bahubali thali. This was done as a dedication to the grandeur and magnum status of both the star and their enterprise.

Birth Day or Propose day?

Prabhas’s female fans make his birthday into an official proposal day by sending him proposals or gifts or flooding his social media with messages of their undying love for him and marriage proposals.

Prabhas Poster Paranoia

Fans created a 600 feet poster in Punjab ahead of Bahubali-2 and the owner of a hotel inaugurated his hotel with the poster of Radhe Shyam as the background of his hotel. These larger than life gestures make Prabhas a part of fan history.

Prabhas Bappa Ho liya!!!

Post the release of Bahubali to cash in on the craze of Bahubali, sculptors started making Ganesh idols in Prabhas avatar from the iconic film. They were quite a rage and it was lovely to see Ganesha in yet another adorable avatar.

Videshi Love

A Russian fan got her back tattooed with Prabha’s name and a Japanese all female fan group travelled to India just to meet him. Though they couldn’t manage to meet him, their entire trip was about getting as close to the Prabhas experience as possible.

 

Bharat Express wishes the phenomenon called Prabhas a very happy birthday. The biggest international sensation the country has ever known.

He enjoys not only the love of the common people, but also loves the common people.

Happy Birthday to the perfect star!! May you live life Bahubali-Size!!
