Mumbai, Oct 23: Telugu superstar Prabhas turns 47 on October 23, with his physical transformations for various film roles remaining a notable part of his career. From building a muscular physique for the Baahubali franchise to shedding muscle for Saaho, the actor has repeatedly adapted his fitness routine to meet the demands of his characters.

Prabhas’s transformation for SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali films attracted widespread attention. To portray the warrior Amarendra Baahubali, the actor worked on developing a muscular build, while maintaining a comparatively leaner physique for Shivudu, the character’s son.

Reports dating back to 2014 documented his physical preparation for the historical epic. The demanding process involved building muscle and gaining weight, followed by efforts to reduce his muscle mass for subsequent roles.

For Saaho, Prabhas underwent another physical transformation, adjusting his physique to suit the action film. His fitness journey has continued to reflect the varying requirements of his roles, with professional trainers, tailored workout routines and dietary changes forming part of his preparation.

The actor’s repeated transformations highlight the physical demands of action-oriented and large-scale film productions, where performers often modify their training and nutrition to portray characters convincingly on screen.
