They wrote, “Japan lo Earthquake and Tsunami warning anta hero akkade unnadu repu return avuthunadu anta (There’s an earthquake and tsunami warning in Japan. Our hero is still there and returning tomorrow).” Replying to them, Maruthi wrote, “Spoke to Darling he is not in Tokyo and doing safe no worries.”
Earthquake and tsunami warning in Japan
According to AFP, a major earthquake rocked Japan’s northern coast late on Monday. The country’s meteorological agency recorded that several tsunami waves reached the shoreline. A magnitude 7.6 quake struck off Misawa on Japan’s Pacific coast, forcing residents to evacuate. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning, with one wave hitting a port in the northern region of Aomori, where Misawa is located. The warning was later called off. However, the country is now on alert for a megaquake.
Recent work
Prabhas last starred in Nag Ashwin’s 2024 film, Kalki 2898 AD, alongside Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. This year, he played a cameo in Kannappa and gave a voiceover for Mirai. A combined, recut version of the Baahubali films, titled Baahubali: The Epic, was released in theatres on October 31 in India. It will be released in Japan on December 12.
Prabhas will soon star in The Raja Saab and Fauzi; both films are scheduled for release next year. He also has Spirit, the sequels to Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar, as well as the animated film Baahubali: The Eternal War – Part 1, lined up.
