‘After Baahubali It Was Very Stressful Because People Had Too Many Expectations,’ Says Prabhas

Actor Prabhas is in the city for the promotions of his upcoming film Radhe Shyam. And while the actor is busy talking about the film, he recently had quite a heartwarming chat with the media after the latest trailer launch of the film. During this interview Prabhas spoke about Radhe Shyam, working with Amitabh Bachchan, and the stardom that has come with Baahubali.

Check out the film’s latest trailer here:

While talking to the media Prabhas revealed that it was difficult for him to choose films after Baahubali because of the expectations people had from him.

He said,

Major tension was after Baahubali with Saaho. After Baahubali, it was very stressful because people had too much expectations. During part 1 we didn’t know what was going to happen, and after part 2 it was too much of expectations. So Saaho did what it commercially did, if it is only a commercial film it is very easy, Radhe Shyam is commercial with a love story. There is a little stress, but I am very confident about my director and the story.

Prabhas even spoke about the craze around Baahubali and the pressures that come with it. He also spoke about Radhe Shyam and how different is the film.

He further added,

Baahubali was around the country for four and half years, so that baggage will be there and I don’t mind it. The only thing is that I have to give them films like Saaho and Radhe Shyam to show that I can do something else. After Baahubali pressure will always be there, but we cannot cross the benchmark of every film, otherwise where will it go? With Radhe Shyam we just want to show the audience a commercial film in a different style. So crossing every film and going further is impossible I think for any actor. In Telugu cinema also I had the same problem, from my first film they felt I am an action hero, a commercial hero. So, I tried different films like Darling and Mr Perfect and it did really well. If the story is good people will watch, but every film you cannot be larger than life, I want to entertain the audiences in a different way as much as I can.

The Radhe Shyam actor looked quite happy while sharing his experience of working with Amitabh Bachchan on Project K. In case you don’t know, Big B has also lent his voice for Prabhas’ upcoming film.

He shared,

Amitabh sir is someone else, it was what an experience working with him. I was calling Nag Ashwin sir to please let me do one shot with him. My dream was to work with Amitabh sir, I did that. That was the biggest thing.

Well, along with Prabhas we will also see actress Pooja Hegde in Radhe Shyam and the film is slated to release on 11th March. And after seeing the little glimpses of this love story, I am excited to watch the film on the big screen.
