Prabhas' new movie poster sparks rumours of name change

The much-awaited official announcement of Prabhas' film with director Maruthi was finally made on the occasion of Sankranthi. The first poster of the film was also unveiled on the occasion alongside a motion poster. While the poster was well received by fans of the Rebel star, the actor's name was spelled differently and many pointed this out on social media. Instead of Prabhas, the poster read Prabhass. Speculation began if the Salaar star has altered the spelling of his name due to numerology reasons. However, that is not the truth.

An official statement from the actor's team as shared by Aakashavaani read, “There is no change in name. It's a printing mistake on the poster. Instead of ‘Prabhas’s #RajaSaab, by mistake, the name got printed as Prabhass on the poster.”
