Actor Prabhas, who became a household name across India with the two Baahubali movies, says that he might accept an offer from Bollywood after wrapping up the big-ticket Saaho.
There’s
speculation about Telugu film actor Prabhas soon making his Bollywood
debut — the smash hit Baahubali films, in which he played the lead,
weren’t strictly Bollywood, though the Hindi versions gave the films an
all-India audience. However, Prabhas says there’s still time. He plans
to first finish his cinema projects in south India, especially the
big-ticket trilingual action film, Saaho, co-starring Bollywood actor
Shraddha Kapoor.
“I
might do a Bollywood film. I’ve been [getting] some good offers,” says
Prabhas. “But I’ll first need to finish Saaho, and a beautiful love
story (that he has signed). The film is set in Europe of the 1960s-70s.
We’re planning to wrap them up by June-July next year. After that, I’ll
take up a Bollywood film.”
The
actor says that more than the language of a film, what interests him
are stories with a universal appeal. Such stories, much like Baahubali,
have the potential to do well all over India, and in overseas markets,
feels Prabhas.
“I
want to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal,” says
Prabhas. “The way Baahubali has connected with people all over India…
it has given us recognition all over the country. It’s a humbling
experience. I’m thankful to the entire team. [Filmmaker] SS Rajamouli’s
vision worked. His magic worked and something really great happened. We
all are going to remember it for the rest of our lives, and that’s
beautiful.”
Given
his popularity now in India and abroad, would the next step be an
international film? Prabhas says, “I’ve never thought about doing
international films. But if I get something exciting, I might take it
up. Everything depends on what comes my way. Baahubali gave me something
that’s really huge. So, as of now, I want to do Indian films.”
