Prabhas is my favourite pan-Indian star, says Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor has said Prabhas of Baahubali fame is his favourite pan-Indian star at the moment. Ranbir is now back on screen with Shamshera, that released in theatres on Friday.

Prabhas has once again called Prabhas his favourite actor. 

Over the last few days, Ranbir was busy promoting the film in the southern part of the country. As part of the Hyderabad leg of promotions, Ranbir opened up about what he likes about Prabhas.

Earlier this year, during the promotions of Brahmastra in Telugu-speaking cities, Ranbir had revealed that Prabhas is a dear friend. In a video shared by one of Ranbir's fan accounts, a host can be heard asking Ranbir, “Who is your favourite Telugu actor?” As soon as she asks this, people in the crowd start taking Prabhas' name. Ranbir then says, “I would say, I also love my darling Prabhas. He is a very dear friend of mine. All of them are great but if I have to choose one, I'll say darling Prabhas.”

Prabhas is currently shooting for Nag Ashwin’s upcoming Telugu science fiction film, Project K. The film marks the Telugu debut of Deepika Padukone and also stars Amitabh Bachchan. He also has Salaar with KGF fame director Prashanth Neel, apart from Om Raut’s Adipurush.
