Initial Choice For Varsham : “Varsham” is one of the most important movies in Prabhas’s career. It gave him stardom and made him a popular hero in Telugu cinema. This romantic action film was first released in 2004 and became a huge box office success. The chemistry between Prabhas and Trisha was loved by audiences, and even today, many people are big fans of the movie.
Recently, the makers released a 4K version of Varsham, and it once again received a great response in theatres. The film was directed by the late Sobhan. But did you know Prabhas was not the first choice for the lead role? Originally, director Sobhan wrote the story for superstar Mahesh Babu.
When Sobhan explained the story to Mahesh Babu, the actor felt it didn’t suit his image at the time. So, he politely said no to the project. After that, the story reached Prabhas. He immediately liked it and agreed to do the film. This decision changed his life.
At that time, Prabhas was facing some failures at the box office. Varsham turned things around for him. Gopichand played the villain, and veteran actor Prakash Raj also had a key role. The songs in the film were also very popular and added to its success.
If Mahesh Babu had done this movie, things might have been different. But Prabhas’s strong performance made Varsham a blockbuster. Fans still celebrate the film, and its re-release shows its lasting popularity.
In the end, even though Mahesh Babu missed the chance, Prabhas turned Varsham into a classic. This shows how one decision can change an actor’s entire career.
