Prabhas is buoyant with the success of Saaho which has grossed over Rs 400 crores. With this, the Baahubali hunk has only gone a top-notch higher in his magnanimity. Prabhas is as popular as the Khan in Bollywood, but it’s no mean feat for a South star to achieve a humungous polarity with the Hindi audience.
Ask Prabhas, if he feels that Bollywood is prejudice to films from other regions, he gives very crip answer. Prabhas states, “It has always been there in every region. Every region is used to their own actors — some have been around for 20-30 years. So, that is bound to happen. But, I think if a film is good then they always watch it. Otherwise we would never see a new actor of a director getting a chance. Baahubali broke a lot of barriers, and in a way, paved a new path for a lot of such pan India films. There will be a lot more [of such films] in the future”.
Saaho director Sujeeth on criticism
Speaking about the criticism Saaho has received from critics, Sujeeth said, “What did I do? I made the film that Prabhas sir, my producers, and I believed in. The audiences came in large numbers to watch it, but still, I am being treated harshly as if I have committed a crime.”
He goes on refute the bizarre statement that temple is being built for him in Bihar. “Please show me where I have said this. I never said this. One guy who has nothing to do with the film made this statement on YouTube. I would never make these kinds of statements. I know how ridiculous it sounds,” said Sujeeth. However, he is thankful for the support he is getting from Prabhas and the producers. He added, “Prabhas sir and the producers are supporting me. That’s the only good thing happening in my life right now. Seeing all the criticism, I decided to keep quiet and still, all these negative things are being said about me. I am staying calm, wondering what wrong have I done.”
