The secret of longevity in films as a hero is being different.

Doing different roles is the hallmark of a hero. That is how the likes of Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna have made it.

It is a good lesson that Prabhas has learnt at the start of his career itself. The young actor is ready for more variety in his career. He is content doing just the macho stuff or the romantic boy role. In fact, he wants new things.

And in Pournami, his big movie for M S Raju (the hottest producer in the circuit), he will be shown in a new light.

Prabhu Deva, after the success of Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, is seen as a director who is willing to experiment.

Prabhu Deva is credited with giving Siddharth a new lease of life.

Prabhu Deva, it is now learnt, is doing a similar thing for Prabhas.

Prabhas has got an author-backed role and is very comfortable doing it.

The film has five heroines and will be a big one this summer.

And big one too it will be for Prabhas.
