"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," said Prabhas
Actor
Prabhas, who became entitled to the perks of being a superstar after
the mega success of Baahubali, actually shies away from the all
attention. In an interview with news agency IANS, the 37-year-old actor
said that he's working on it. "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."
Prabhas,
who makes very few public appearances, added in his interview: "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."
Prabhas also revisited memories from when he was yet to make his acting
debut - the idea of joining cinema seemed sort of "impossible" to
Prabhas. "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," he told IANS.
Prabhas
is the son of well-known Telugu producer Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju
and is the nephew of filmmaker Krishnam Raju Uppalapati. Prabhas joined
the Telugu film industry with 2002's Eeshwar.
If not an actor, Prabhas would have been in the food business and that's
because - "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."
Then
what really made him consider acting as a career option? "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," IANS quoted Prabhas as saying.
Prabhas
has Telugu movies like Raghavendra, Mr. Perfect, Chatrapathi and
Chakram on his resume, but is best known for playing the protagonist in S
S Rajamouli's Baahubali series of films. The second part of Baahubali
released this year to recreate box office history - with the director
assigning majority of the credit to Prabhas.
Prabhas
will next be seen in action-thriller Saaho, which will also release in
Hindi and Tamil apart from Telugu. Directed by Sujeeth, Prabhas co-stars
with Shraddha Kapoor in Saaho, which is expected to arrive in theatres
next year.
