The stupendous success of the Baahubali franchise catapulted Prabhas into national fame, and the actor gained a huge female fan following across the country. However, reports began doing the rounds that Prabhas was all set to get hitched soon, and they were heartbroken.
His chemistry with Anushka Shetty has been the talk of the town, and their onscreen romance was so convincing that it sparked rumours of a real-life romance. That Anushka said in an interview that Prabhas was sexier than Rana Daggubati only added fuel to the fire.Prabhas told Hindustan Times that he had no plans of tying the knot anytime soon. “At present, my [female] fans don’t need to worry. I’m not doing any such thing (getting married) now. I’m not even thinking about it,” he laughed, adding, “I feel lucky that so many people admire me.”
However, he denied that there was something brewing between them and said that such speculation is not unheard of, when an actor and actress work together in multiple films. Prabhas and Anushka have paired together in Billa (2009), Mirchi (2013), Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017).
“Such stories are common. I was, in fact, expecting this. If you work with one [female] actor in more than two films, then people tend to start spreading such rumours. It’s normal for me now. Earlier, I used to feel bad and say, ‘How could they write this?’ But now, such stories don’t bother me. I am okay with them,” Prabhas told the publication.
On the work front, Prabhas is currently shooting for his next, Saaho, directed by Sujeeth. According to some reports, Anushka will be the leading lady of the film. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding the same.
