By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 1 Nov 2026 10:05 AM ISTPrabhas is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. But what makes him special is not just his stardom or success. His kindness, support for young filmmakers and willingness to give opportunities to talented directors have earned him the name Darling among fans.
Whenever Prabhas gets an opportunity then he seems ready to encourage directors who are still trying to establish themselves in the film industry. He does not always choose only experienced filmmakers with a long list of blockbuster hits. Instead he also gives chances to directors who have fresh ideas and the desire to make something different.
The latest reports about his upcoming film have once again brought this quality into discussion.
There were reports that Prabhas might reunite with director Karunakaran who gave him the memorable romantic entertainer Darling. But these reports are now believed to be false. Instead director Karthik Gattamneni who gained recognition with Mirai is reportedly preparing a thriller with Prabhas. People Media Factory is expected to produce the film.
Karthik may not have the experience of directing a massive pan India star like Prabhas but the actor appears willing to do a film with him. This is one of the reasons fans admire him.
Prabhas has worked with several directors who were still growing in their careers. After becoming a pan-India star with Baahubali, Prabhas could easily choose only established directors and safe projects. But he continues to give opportunities to filmmakers with different visions. This is the goodness that makes Prabhas truly deserve the title of Darling. Irrespective of hits and flops, he always supportive of the new generation directors.
