Salaar Actor Prabhas’ 2410 Million Net Worth Is A Massive Jump In His Post Baahubali Life! ( Photo Credit – Facebook; IMDb )
Prabhas has been one of the most phenomenal stars when it comes to success. From being a Telugu film actor to becoming the first true pan-India box office star and witnessing a well-deserved fan following globally, the breakthrough superstar has been there and done that. He enjoys a net worth of around 241 crore, which has taken a huge jump post the Baahubali-mania hit nation.
Interestingly, before Baahubali, Prabhas’ net worth was estimated to be around 124 crore – the time around 2014 – 15. Prabhas’ fee for the two Baahubali films was also meager. However, his stardom grew like a beast after Baahubali was released.
Prabhas and his career can be easily segregated into the pre-Baahubali and post-Baahubali eras. However, not many know that his father was a well-established Telugu producer who owned the banner Gopi Krishna movies.

CinemaThe makers of Adipurush have changed the controversial lines after many viewers objected them, calling them too ‘crude’ and ‘uncouth’ to be uttered by an actor playing the deity Bajrang (Hanuman) in the film. After the recently released adaptation of Ramayana, Adipurush, stoked controversy over certain dialogues delivered by the character of Bajrang (Hanuman) which have been termed as ‘crude’ and ‘uncouth’, the makers have modified the lines. The dialogue in contention is delivered in the film by Bajrang, played by Devdatta Nage, to Meghnad. During the Lanka Dahan scene, when Ravana's son lights up Hanuman's Tail and says: "Jali na.. Abhi to aur jalegi…". To this, the character of Hanuman replies: “Kapda tere baap ka. Tel tere baap ka. Aag bhi tere baap ki. Toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki.” However, these lines have now been changed to say ‘Lanka’ instead of ‘baap’ (father). A viewer took to Twitter...

OpinionIf only that meant Bharat ki betis didn’t have to stage dharnas and get shoved and pushed by the police, and maligned on social media when they stand up to sexual harassment in real life.A key event in the Hindu epic Ramayana is the abduction of Sita by Ravan, the King of Lanka. Ravan was part asura – divine beings with great powers who could be good or bad – and part human, descended from the Brahmin caste through his father, Sage Vishrava. In fact, there are communities like the Sachora Brahmins of Gujarat that proudly proclaim that they are his descendants. In Om Raut’s Adipurush, based on the epic, however, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Ravan for Bollywood’s Alauddin Khilji, with the kajal in his eyes and the beard in all his 10 faces. And oh, he also feeds huge hunks of meat to his outsized pet...

“Adipurush,” director Om Raut’s retelling of Indian mythological epic “Ramayana,” emerged the fifth highest box office earner in the world in its opening weekend, despite some mixed reviews at home.
The film, which stars Prabhas (the Baahubali franchise), Kriti Sanon (“Bhediya”) and Saif Ali Khan (“Vikram Vedha”), opened on June 16 worldwide in Hindi, Telugu Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada-language versions.

Adipurush is an Indian mythological film based on the Hindu epic Ramayana by Valmiki. The film is written and directed by Om Raut. While Adipurush literally translates to ‘first man’, Om Raut interprets it as ‘best man’ in the context of the film. We have two great references – ‘Ramayana’ (1987) – of course the most loved and revered version by Ramanand Sagar and the other being ‘Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama’ (1993) by Yugo Sako. Frankly, for the generation who have loved either or both find it difficult to sink into anything else. There have been number of other attempts too, to create the epic. Om Raut who shot to fame with Tanhaji is the latest to attempt re-telling the epic; finds it too hot to handle!

The actor initially faced difficulty because the scenes were being shot through motion capture.
Speaking of the difficulties he faced whilst playing Angad, Manohar said: “Yes, it was a big challenge because first time in India I think motion capture has been done by director Om Raut and I am part of it, so I didn’t know about how motion capture is going to be shot.

ReviewSaif Ali Khan is adequately leery and manic as Ravan in this Om Raut directorial, but there’s only so much he can do with such a shallow script.Prabhas as Ram in AdipurushIt is often said that the Ramayana is about how people ought to be, while the Mahabharata is about how people are. In the epic, Ram, the symbol of ideal behaviour and practice, is a young prince who renounces his right over his kingdom, and leaves for the jungle in the company of his equally young wife and brother. His trials and tribulations don’t end there – and each time he is tested, he must choose the path of righteousness. Beyond religious reasons, the story has such a hold across generations also because it has such fantastic drama. A family feud, a noble hero who is deprived of his birthright, a beautiful woman who is abducted by a lustful villain,...

NewsAdipurush, an adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayana, was released in theatres on Friday, June 16.The hero worship of film actors is not uncommon in southern states. This would often translate into toxic online fan wars and orchestrated troll attacks, with the fans refusing to tolerate any criticism of their favourite star or their movie. This toxic behaviour, however, usually remains in the realm of the virtual world. But things turned violent on Friday, June 16, when a filmgoer was physically assaulted by actor Prabhas’s fans for stating that his latest release Adipurush was awful. The unsuspecting movie watcher, who is yet to be identified, was sharing his opinion about the movie with the YouTube content creators waiting outside the Prasads multiplex in Hyderabad, to report on the first-day audience response to the big-budget film. But as the man stated that the visual effects in the film were terrible and...

When the first trailer for ‘Adipurush’ came out, it was horrible from a VFX standpoint. Then the second trailer came out and it looked a bit better. There was hope that the final product would be an even better improvement than the final trailer. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Now, you must be thinking why am I weighing more on VFX than say the acting, writing, music etc. That is because, sadly, this movie is extremely heavy on VFX, so any mediocre or bad VFX ruins the cinematic experience. Doesn’t anyone involved in making this film realize that the product they made is laughable at times and is not up to a certain level or standard. It’s a shame that we live in a time where mediocrity will be celebrated and encouraged.

Kathmandu, June 15 (Ians) After placing a map of “Greater Nepal” at his office in retaliation at the “Akhand Bharat” mural in the new Indian Parliament building, Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah on Thursday announced that no Indian movie will be allowed to be exhibited within the capital territory if South Indian movie “Adipurush” does not correct the “mistake” about the birthplace of Sita.
Nepal’s Censor Board also decided to hold back permission to the upcoming Indian epic mythological film, based on the Hindu epic “Ramayana”, for the same reason.
In “Adipurush”, it is mentioned that “Sita is the daughter of India”, Shah said in a tweet on Thursday, adding that until this mistake will not be corrected in India and Nepal, no Indian movie will be allowed to be shown within the Kathmandu metropolitan city limit.
The film is written and directed by Om Raut and produced by T-Series and Retrophiles.
