From Biryani to Punugulu: Prabhas’ Food Stories Steal the Show

February 20, 2026 Published by rajeshe092eb6a68

Food and Prabhas are a legendary combination. Over the years, several co-stars and technicians have spoken about his generosity on sets — especially when it comes to treating the entire team to lavish and delicious meals. Now, the actor has shared yet another anecdote that perfectly captures his passion for food.

During a light-hearted interaction with Santosh Sobhan, Manasa Varanasi, and the team of Couple Friendly, Prabhas opened up about a memorable moment from the Mumbai schedule of Adipurush.

He revealed that he once announced a “cheat day” on set and strictly told everyone not to eat, promising a special surprise meal. As hours went by, the team grew restless and confused about the delay. When they finally questioned him, Prabhas calmly revealed that the food was arriving from Chennai.

Many assumed he had ordered from a Tamil restaurant in Mumbai. But the reality was far more extravagant — a person had actually flown in from Chennai carrying the freshly prepared dishes exclusively for the team. The unexpected gesture left the crew stunned, and Prabhas couldn’t help but laugh while recalling their reactions.

Though he enjoys Hyderabadi biryani, the actor admitted that he has a special preference for Chennai-style biryani, praising its tangy and distinctive taste. He also expressed his deep love for Vijayawada punugulu, saying he has never tasted the same flavor anywhere else.

With stories like these, Prabhas once again proves that beyond the larger-than-life screen presence, he is equally grand when it comes to food and hospitality.
