Prabhas has established himself as a mass hero in the last decade, with his films largely being grand epic sagas where he flexes his muscles to hit goons left and right. Delivering blockbusters such as ‘Baahubali’, ‘Salaar’, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and others, one might assume the Rebel Star has a knack for action thrillers; however, he named a romance drama as his all-time favorite.In a recent conversation with the team of ‘Couple Friendly’, Prabhas revealed that his all-time favourite film is not an action movie. It is the classic love drama ‘Geethanjali’. While speaking, Prabhas said, “People often ask me why I do so many action films when I like love stories. I always tell them that Geethanjali is my all-time favourite film.”
