Prabhas reveals his best critic.Prabhas has kicked off the year on a jubilant note, as his recent release, Salaar, emerges as a box office success, raking in nearly Rs 400 crore in India at the time of this report. Directed by the acclaimed Prashanth Neel of KGF fame, Salaar has not only performed impressively but has also set new records. The dynamic duo of Prabhas and Prashanth Neel is set to reunite for Salaar 2, building on the success of their collaboration.
Amidst the widespread acclaim on various social media platforms, Prabhas took a moment to share his thoughts on the one individual he regards as the most discerning critic of his life – his mother. "In my family, my mother is my best critic," Prabhas revealed.
Salaar, which hit theaters on December 22, elicited a flurry of responses from fans who eagerly shared their favorite moments from the film. When asked about his personal highlights in Salaar, Prabhas surprisingly didn't cite his adrenaline-pumping action scenes. Instead, he attributed the fans' positive response to the film's intense moments and action sequences to the direction of Prashanth Neel.
"I am happy if my director is happy on set and my fans are happy in theatres," Prabhas expressed. He went on to reveal, "There are a couple of scenes that I personally enjoyed performing, not just the action sequences but the emotional ones between mother and son and between two best friends."
A self-proclaimed director's actor, Prabhas emphasized his commitment to embodying the specific emotions and complexities demanded by the character. Reflecting on his portrayal of Deva, he explained, "Deva is a man who has specific emotions, triggered by his mother and, especially, his friend. Anything connected to them influences his character, and that’s how he emotes. I performed based on what the director wanted, especially when it came to scenes connected to my mother and friend."
In essence, Prabhas's satisfaction lies in the harmony between his director's vision, the emotional depth of the character, and the resonance it finds with the audience. As Salaar continues to make waves, Prabhas remains grounded and appreciative of the collaborative effort that has brought this cinematic triumph to fruition.
