‘I Told My Friend That I Want To Be An Actor, Now He Is The Producer Of Saaho’, Prabhas Speaks About The Unseen Side Of His Career
It is very well known that actor Prabhas is now gearing up for his upcoming action-thriller ‘Saaho’. Directed by Tollywood’s well known ‘Sujeet Singh’, people throughout the country are eagerly awaited for the movie. Prabhas already surprised his fans with the ultimate change over after leaving Baahubali sets.
Post the success of Baahubali, Prabhas now earned his will throughout the country, and as the whole country knows his name now, with merely one film in Bollywood, the kind of following Prabhas earned is simply boundless. Now, his upcoming flick is all set to be released in four languages- Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.
Amidst this high swing news, it is very well observed that the actor is pretty shy in front of media and seen many times not opening much about anything. Moreover, he actually is a more reserved person. This 37-Year-Old actor finally opened up on being that reserved, he added that he is trying more to improve himself on interacting with fans and media.
Talking about being shy, he says, “I am still shy when I go to interviews. I want a lot of people to come and watch my film but I can’t face (that many) people, after being in the industry for 13-14 years now, I still don’t know how to handle stardom. My fans feel bad that their hero doesn’t come out so much. I’m better than before, and trying to improve.”
Coming from one of the most esteemed families of the fil industry, he said, “My uncle is an actor, my dad is a producer, so they asked me if I was interested, and I was like ‘How can someone act in front of so many people with lights and emote’. I used to feel shy… My parents asked me once or twice and I said that it is impossible.”
Talking about his career plans, he said, “I had thought I will do some business because I am lazy and I can’t-do jobs. I had thought that maybe I will go into hotel business because our family loves food. And north Indian food is very famous in Hyderabad.”
Responding to his advent into films he said, “This is what I remember, (though I) actually don’t know what happened inside my mind. One day I was watching my uncle’s film directed by Bapu. I imagined myself in my uncle’s character… Then I think it slowly started somewhere.”
Started off his career in 2002, it took a while to prove himself to his family. He then added, “One day, I told my friend that I want to act, and he didn’t believe me… He believed me after at least 10 days. And now he is the producer of ‘Saaho’.”
On the other hand, there is always a fear that crawls into any actor or producer after garnering a huge success like Baahubali. Prabhas admits that fear of failure with upcoming projects looms large. “Fear of failure is definitely there for every film. It was present for ‘Baahubali’; then, after the first part, it was there for the second part. Now, there are so many expectations and the audience wants to see something else… Fear is there, but what we can do is believe in something and try to make it,” says this Saaho actor.
For all good, let us simply hope that he will keep entertaining us with the upcoming multi-lingual movie.
