and work with him prabhas is a darling and a very humble person people may think that on the sets of baahubali we all must have been very serious during acting but thats not true we were always in fun mode we were cracking jokes ramya krishnan and nassir and i are all from the same period we were 80s youngsters so we all gelled very well shooting for baahubali always felt like a picnicwhat did you learn from working on baahubaliit was a rare experience i remember the very first shot that i did for baahubali everybody clapped but ss rajamouli asked me to do the same scene without blinking my eyes i agreed because i believed it would be a new and enriching experience for me as an actor i did the scene without blinking my eyes and later when i saw it on the monitor it really brought out a different emotion to the character it looked very intense i didnt know telugu so it was difficult for me to emote as well i was just relying on the promptingdoes language matter to an actorfor me its never been an issue if someone can prompt me i can act in russian and chinese movies too laughs there is a technical trick for acting if an actor can be clear with a few crucial sounds and vowels heshe will be able to pronounce all languages without much efforthow do you rate yourself as a fatheri am very cool and i am not at all concerned about culture traditions and rules i am an open and rational thinker i dont believe much in god caste religion etc so i dont compel my kids to do what i want they are free to do what they wantwhats your view on the constant comparisons between north and south films thats become a trend of sortsthats all created by the media we are actors and we act in films people watch movies and enjoy them it is only the media which wants to divide south and north films as a fan i always liked watching amitabh bachchans movies dharmendra dev anand and shatrughan sinha films the emergence of south cinemas popularity also stems from the lockdown it was during that period that people didnt know what to do sitting at home so they started watching movies of different languages i watched a punjabi and gujarati movie while being at home this is good for regional cinema because only when regional films do well people will get to know stories of the soil otherwise films will continue to tell general stories only when regional cinema succeeds is when real stories of our country will come to the fore
