00:00 Prabhas is an actor who has been in many Pan India films.
00:03 He has changed his name to Prabhas.
00:07 But he has changed his spelling.
00:09 He has added an extra 's' in his name.
00:13 So, he has changed his name to Prabhas.
00:16 He has changed his name for numerological reasons.
00:21 Before that, we are going to see who are the actors who have changed their names for the film.
00:29 The first actor is Rajinikanth.
00:32 This is a well known story.
00:33 His real name is Shivaji Rao Gekwad.
00:35 When he was studying in Madras Film Institute,
00:38 he had an idea that he could be introduced in the film industry.
00:45 When he was told that his name is Shivaji Rao,
00:49 he was convinced that he is already a Shivaji in Tamil cinema.
00:53 So, he has decided to change his name.
00:57 Few years back, he had directed a film called Major Chandrakanth.
01:03 In that film, Rajinikanth was the main character.
01:06 In the inspiration of that character,
01:08 Shivaji Rao Gekwad was introduced as Rajinikanth.
01:13 Let's see who Shivaji changed his name for.
01:18 Shivaji's real name is Ganesh Murthy.
01:21 He was an actor who had acted in many stage plays.
01:24 He had acted in the film 'Annadurai Ekna'
01:27 and 'Shivaji Kanda Indhu Rajyam'.
01:30 When Periyar saw this film,
01:32 he said that Ganesh Murthy had acted in many Shivaji's plays.
01:37 So, he changed his name to Shivaji Ganesan.
01:41 Another Tamil cinema superstar is Nayanthara.
01:44 Her real name is Diana Mariam Kurien.
01:47 She was introduced in the Malayalam film 'Manasinna Karai' released in 2003.
01:52 Her name was Diana.
01:55 In the film 'Diana', an 18+ movie was released in Malayalam just a year before.
02:00 The actor who had the name of the 18+ movie
02:04 wanted to create a negative impact on the film.
02:08 So, he planned to give her a screen name.
02:12 He recommended many names for her.
02:15 He shortlisted 3 names and thought of giving her a screen name.
02:20 The guy who clapped for her
02:23 recommended her the name Nayanthara.
02:28 Diana Mariam has been Nayanthara since then.
02:32 Another actress is Anushka Shetty.
02:34 Her real name is Sweety.
02:36 She was introduced in the Telugu film 'Super' released in 2005.
02:41 She was not well-known in the film industry.
02:45 So, she changed her name to Anushka.
02:48 She has been Anushka since then.
02:51 She also starred in the film 'Inji Iduppazhagi'.
02:53 She used her real name Sweety in the film.
02:58 The next actor is Surya.
03:00 His real name is Saravanan.
03:02 He was introduced in the film because he was a Saravanan.
03:08 So, he changed his name to Surya.
03:10 In the later days, Surya and his brother Karthik
03:14 have played many iconic characters in their films.
03:20 The next actor is one of the best music directors in Tamil cinema.

03:28 His real name is Gnana Desi.
03:30 He is known as Rasaiya.
03:34 He was known as Raja in the later days.
03:37 He was introduced in the film 'Annakili'.
03:40 At that time, there was a legendary singer named A.M. Raja.
03:44 So, the name should not be confused.
03:47 Producer Panju Arunachalam suggested that
03:49 Ilaiyaraja should be changed to his real name.
03:53 So, he changed his name to Ilaiyaraja.
03:56 I think you all know how legendary his name is.
04:00 The next actor is Vikram.
04:02 His real name is Kennedy John Victor.
04:04 You might ask why there is no connection between
04:07 Kennedy John Victor and Vikram.
04:08 Yes, it is a very far name.
04:11 Kennedy John Victor is a very far name.
04:16 So, he changed his name to Vikram.
04:22 The next actor is Jeeva.
04:24 His real name is Amar.
04:25 Both Amar and Jeeva have the same meaning.
04:27 But, I don't know why he changed his name to Jeeva.
04:32 Maybe, it is because of numerology or some other reason.
04:35 Amar is his real name.
04:37 But, he changed his name to Jeeva.
04:41 I think Jeeva is the only one who knows the reason.
04:44 The next actor is Venkatesh Prabhu.
04:46 He is a famous actor in Hollywood, Tamil cinema and Bollywood.
04:52 His real name is Venkatesh Prabhu.
04:54 There were many actors with the name Prabhu.

05:02 So, he decided to change his name to Prabhu.
05:05 There is a film named Kuruthi Poonal.
05:06 Kamal Haasanam and Arjuna are the actors.
05:08 He is in Ph.D. Sriram.
05:09 In this film, there is a secret operation called Operation Dhanush.
05:15 Because of that operation, he changed his name to Dhanush.
05:20 The next actor is Yakunar Mishkin.
05:22 His real name is Shanmugaraja.
05:24 The reason why he is linked to Shanmugaraja and Mishkin is
05:28 because he was attracted to the character Prince Mishkin in the Russian novel The Idiot.
05:39 So, there are many actors with the same name.
05:41 Another actor is Prabhas.
05:43 He added two extra letters to his name.
05:47 He is a Tamil.
05:49 He added an extra letter 'A' and 'H' to his name.
