Prabhas turned the Fauzi set into a birthday banquet. On October 13, just hours after Imanvi Esmail’s actual birthday, the actor sent over a full home-cooked spread to her on the Hyderabad schedule — not a gift, not a card, but a feast. The meal arrived in time for a surprise celebration, and Imanvi, who’s making her Telugu debut opposite Prabhas in Hanu Raghavapudi’s period drama, shared photos of the spread on Instagram. ‘Heart and stomach forever full. Thank you Prabhas Garu,’ she wrote. The post went viral within minutes. Not because it was flashy, it wasn’t. But because it was him. The gesture fits a pattern: Prabhas has long been known for feeding co-stars during shoots, from elaborate meals to simple home-style dishes sent from his kitchen. It’s become part of his reputation. Quiet, consistent, personal. This time, though, it landed with extra weight. Imanvi is new to the industry, a first-time lead, and the attention felt like an anchor. Her gratitude wasn’t performative. It was real. Fans noticed. Comments flooded in: ‘He treats everyone like family.’ ‘This is why he’s beloved.’ The film itself, Fauzi, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, with Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Jayaprada in supporting roles. Is aiming for a March 2027 theatrical release. That’s still months away. But right now, the biggest moment isn’t a scene or a trailer. It’s a plate of food, delivered at dawn on a Thursday morning. And that’s enough.
