Believe or not, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson sparked Prakash’s interest in the whole selfie craze.

In an interview with, Bhanu stated and i quote,

"I was on my way back home, and a few guys were talking about Dwayne Johnson’s record of 105 selfies in three minutes. When I reached home, I did some research work for the application process and fell in love with selfies" end of quote.

So far, Prakash has been able to 1,700 selfies in one hour, but his goal is to try and take 1,800 selfies in the same time frame. To prepare for the actual attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, he has been doing various hand and wrist exercises in addition to getting himself a tripod and selfie stick to practice his selfie talking at different angles.

Bhanu’s family has been nothing but support of his efforts to break the world record. He said his parents were initially disappointed that he quit his job for this, but eventually they accepted it. In fact, they’re happy that he’s trying something new and unique.
