SS Rajamouli's magnum opus 'Baahubali: The Beginning' and 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' have made Prabhas a household name and he is now considered as the most eligible bachelor in the Indian film industry. However, he was recently beaten up by one of the most energetic and outstanding actors of Bollywood.
The Alauddin Khilji of 'Padmaavat', Ranveer Singh recently topped The Times 50 Most Desirable Men List of 2017, beating Prabhas and captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli.
The 'Most Desirable Men List' also had hunks like Hrithik Roshan and Sidharth Malhotra, who were placed at fourth and fifth positions respectively.
Earlier in a survey conducted by TV channel Sony MAX, Prabhas had emerged to be the actor who is responsible for increasing the nation’s BP. The leading TV channel conducted the survey amongst its viewers to know the most popular actor among Prabhas, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar.
However, Baahubali Prabhas surpassed everyone to claim the spot.
Meanwhile, after being adjudged the most desirable man, Ranveer said, "I do not consider myself to be the best-looking actor, but it is very flattering to be considered desirable. It's important for people to feel desirable for the sake of their self-confidence. I do not consider myself to be the best looking actor. Also, I was an overweight kid till about Class 9."
In my head, I am still that fat kid who gets no female attention. I will always be that fat kid because those years were my foundation years. I don't actively seek validation of my desirability from people, but it is most definitely welcome.

On Work Front - Ranveer and Prabhas
While Ranveer Singh's 'Simmba' and 'Gully Boys' are expected to hit the theaters in 2018 and 2019 respectively, Prabhas is currently shooting for a high-octane action thriller 'Saaho'.
Saaho is written and directed by Sujeeth and produced by UV Creations. The film stars Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh and Evelyn Sharma.
The Prabhas starrer flick is being shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi and is expected to be released late this year or early 2019.
Ranveer and Prabhas' Relationship Status
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s affair is one of Bollywood’s most talked about relationship. Though the two studiously refrain from commenting about on it, if media reports are anything to go by, the duo will soon tie the knot.
On the other hand Prabhas 'The Rebel Star' and the heartthrob of millions has always been open about his relationship. He is having affair with none irrespective of the rumours of him being in relationship with his Baahubali co-star Anushka Shetty.
Besides, another rumour related to the marriage of Prabhas and actress Niharika Konidela, niece of Megastar Chiranjeevi, were once started making rounds but Chiranjeevi soon came forward and put an end to all the rumours.
NOTE: The 'Most Desirable Men List' is a result of votes received via an online poll, along with the votes of an internal jury and the winners are not chosen on the basis of their box-office success (in the case of actors), but other attributes like good looks, personality and popularity.
