Ahead of Salaar release, Baahubali director SS Rajamouli reveals Prabhas does well in drama

Ahead of the release of Salaar, the film’s team sat with the RRR filmmaker SS Rajamouli for a brief discussion. The group emphasised on having an element of drama in movies. Adding to this, the Baahubali director praised Prabhas and noted how his presence on screen elevates all drama. 

SS Rajamouli says drama works for Prabhas 

In conversation with the Salaar team, SS Rajamouli stressed the importance of adding drama to films. The director addressed how Prabhas plays a crucial role in drama films. He called the actor ‘blessed’ and mentioned that even if he does not do anything people feel for him and connect with him. 

He stated, “Drama always works, and it works especially well with Prabhas. He doesn’t have to do anything. He just stands there and immediately the emotions start pouring out of him. I always felt that whenever he stands there… whenever his character feels anger or doing whatever… people feel for him. He is blessed with that face.”  

Prashanth Neel heaps praises of Prabhas 

Salaar director Prashanth Neel also did not back down in heaping praises of Prabhas. The KGF fame mentioned that even though all actors are good, Prabhas is a class apart. He mentioned, “Every actor is brilliant and I don’t want to take anything away from them. But there is one thing about Prabhas… the way he can show innocence and burst into a monster is something that I haven’t seen with anybody. He can look like a sheep in one moment and become a lion in the other. He is every bit the character Deva. He doesn’t like conflicts, but when it comes to his doorstep, he is not going to let it go. I have been seeing this from Varsham and saw that again in Baahubali.”
