When 'Manohari' Became a Visual Spectacle
Among the many memorable moments from Baahubali: The Beginning, the song 'Manohari' stands out for its blend of elegance and charisma. Dressed in royal attire, Prabhas’ poised expressions, subtle flirtations, and effortless movements added a captivating allure to the sequence. Without uttering a single word, his presence alone told a story - a perfect balance of strength and sophistication that made 'Manohari' one of the film’s most stylish highlights.
The Clip That Confused Fans Everywhere
Now, as Prabhas celebrates his 46th birthday on October 23, 2025, an old event clip resurfacing online has fans doing a double take. The setting: a grand stage, background dancers grooving to the beats of 'Manohari', and Prabhas himself standing right at the center.
Naturally, everyone expected the Baahubali star to recreate his signature moves - but what happened next was both hilarious and endearing.
Prabhas’ Adorable Stage Shyness
Instead of dancing, Prabhas simply stood there among the female dancers, smiling and blushing. He waved at the cheering audience, but didn’t take a single step in rhythm. It was as if the mighty Baahubali had suddenly turned into a bashful boy caught in the spotlight. The crowd erupted in laughter and cheers, charmed by his genuine humility.
Rajamouli’s Priceless Reaction
Adding to the fun, Baahubali director SS Rajamouli was spotted in the audience, laughing uncontrollably and even covering his face to hide his amusement.
The moment perfectly captured the off-screen camaraderie between the filmmaker and his leading man - a lighthearted contrast to the grand, serious world they created on screen.
