Hyderabad: South star Prabhas on Tuesday thanked his fans and team of "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" on the third-year anniversary of the blockbuster's release.

The actor, who attained pan-India star status after the release of the SS Rajamouli-directed films, said the sequel is the "biggest film" of his life and one of the "most memorable projects".

"'Baahubali 2' was not just a film that the nation loved but also, the biggest film of my life. And, I'm grateful to my fans, team and director SS Rajamouli who made it one of the most memorable projects.

"'Baahubali 2' completes three years and I'm delighted for all the love the film and I have received," Prabhas, 40, wrote on Instagram alongside some behind-the-scenes photos from the film's sets.

"Baahubali: The Beginning", the first film in the series, released in 2015. It was the first Telugu film to get a worldwide release in Hindi.

"Baahubali 2", which opened in 2017, became the biggest hit in the history of Indian cinema. Both parts were produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar was attached as the distributor on both the films' Hindi version. The franchise also featured Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, Nassar and Subbaraju.

Prabhas was last seen in "Saaho" opposite Shraddha Kapoor. The actor will next be seen in a film with Nag Ashwin.

Bengaluru, Nov 2: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for criticising Congress over poll promises, citing data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

He said that the state’s GDP growth for 2023-24 is 10.2 per cent, surpassing the national average of 8.2 per cent.

In a post on 'X', Modi on Friday said that in Karnataka, Congress is more focused on intra-party politics and “loot” than delivering on development, even planning to roll back existing schemes.

Sharing Modi’s post, Shivakumar responded, citing MoSPI data: "Karnataka’s GSDP growth for 2023-24 is 10.2 per cent, surpassing the national average of 8.2 per cent."

"These are facts, backed by figures, supported by credible sources. The question is: do these facts even reach the Union government, or do they miss those who formulate tweets for the highest offices at the Centre?" he posted on 'X'.

Meanwhile, Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge also criticised PM Modi, alleging he was “ill-informed” and relying on briefings from his social media team rather than the finance minister.

Kharge noted that the National Statistical Estimates had initially projected Karnataka’s growth at 4 per cent, later revised to 13.1 per cent. "Despite providing guarantees and facing severe drought, we’ve managed to grow exponentially," he told reporters here.
