South Indian superstar Prabhas has turned 46. He belongs to the Telugu film industry and is considered one of the highest-paid stars in Indian cinema.

Although the South Indian actor is popular in the film industry and among his fans by the name Prabhas, his real name might come as a shock. His real name is actually quite long. He is Uppalapati Venkata Suryanarayana Prabhas Raju.

Not many people know that superstar Prabhas is an engineer by profession. He earned a Bachelor of Technology (B) from Sri Chaitanya College, Hyderabad. He is an alumnus of the Satyanand Film Institute, Visakhapatnam.
