Fifteen years ago, a heartwarming romantic comedy graced the silver screen and carved a permanent place in the hearts of moviegoers. Darling, released in 2010, was more than just a film—it was a cultural moment that introduced the world to Prabhas in his most charming avatar, and the love story that unfolded on-screen continues to be cherished even today.
Directed by A. Karunakaran, Darling told the story of Prabha (played by Prabhas), who is set to reunite with his childhood friend Nandini (played by Kajal Aggarwal) at a nostalgic get-together planned by his father. But fate adds a twist when Nisha (Shraddha Das), the daughter of a gangster, falls for him, leading to a mix of emotional entanglements and light-hearted drama. The film struck a chord with audiences and turned into a massive box office success.
What made Darling truly unforgettable was the undeniable chemistry between Prabhas and Kajal, coupled with the actor’s effortless screen presence. Fans were so enamored by Prabhas that they lovingly crowned him with the nickname ‘Darling’—a title that has stuck with him ever since.
Darling marked a turning point in Prabhas’ career, showcasing his versatility and paving the way for his rise as one of India’s most beloved Pan-India stars. With a string of successful films and a devoted fan base that spans across the country and beyond, Prabhas continues to be a force to reckon with in Indian cinema.
As we celebrate 15 years of Darling, it’s not just a film we’re remembering—it’s the beginning of an era, the birth of a superstar, and the everlasting connection between a beloved actor and his fans.
