The Rajendra Prasad & Prabhas partnership
From Anukoni Prayanam (2022) to Shashtipoorti (2025). Their most recent film, Shashtipoorti, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active. It started with Anukoni Prayanam (2022).
The shape of the work
Rajendra Prasad acted in every film; Prabhas acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rajendra Prasad personally called Prabhas to ask him to play his son in 'Anukoni Prayanam' (2022). Prabhas said yes without reading the script. He just wanted to work with the legend.
- In 'Janaka Aithe Ganaka' (2024), Rajendra Prasad deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to match Prabhas's natural rhythm. He told the director that Prabhas's stillness needed a calmer scene partner, not a faster one.
- On the sets of 'Shashtipoorti' (2025), Rajendra Prasad brought homemade pickles for Prabhas every single day. Prabhas later admitted he started looking forward to the shoot just for the pickles.
- Prabhas said about Rajendra Prasad during 'Anukoni Prayanam' promotions: 'He made me feel like a student again. I kept forgetting my lines because I was just watching him act.'
- Because of their pairing in 'Janaka Aithe Ganaka', the film's writer-director got a direct offer to helm a bigger-budget family drama. He credits the two actors' chemistry for opening that door.
- In 'Shashtipoorti' (2025), Rajendra Prasad improvised a 3-minute monologue about aging. Prabhas stayed in character and silently reacted with just his eyes. The director kept the take because he said Prabhas's listening face was the scene's real anchor.
