Prabhas is one of the few actors who is not only for his on-screen work but also he is a hero for the people for his off-screen work.

His philosophy and his polite manner of execution have impressed me a lot".## View this post on Instagram I've taken the initiative to adopt and develop 1650 acres of Kazipalli Reserve Forest Block near Hyderabad. Having always been a nature lover, I believe this would create an additional lung space for the city. 🌱 I thank Rajya Sabha MP @mpsantoshtrs for his support.
