Varsham (2004) reversed his fortunes. He was cast opposite Trisha Krishnan. The film went on to become a huge hit. Then he acted under the direction of B. Gopal in Adavi Ramudu, which miserably average at the box office. In Krishna Vamsi’s Chakram (2005) he played a cancer patient, which performed moderately at the box office. However Chatrapathi (2005), in which he played a rebel, with Shriya Saran was a monumental blockbuster.

The movies which followed like Pournami (2006), Yogi, Munna (2007) and Bujjigadu (2008) however average flicks to leave an impact at the box office.

In 2009 Prabhas was seen in Billa, which is a reworked telugu version of the hugely successful bollywood film Don. The movie stars Anushka Shetty and Namitha and also Hansika Motwani doing an item number. He shared screen space for the first time with his real life uncle, Krishnam Raju Uppalapati. The movie turned out to be a hit, giving Prabhas a much needed breather. He is also known as Tollywood Hrithik.
