Southern superstar Prabhas’ upcoming film ‘Radhe Shyam’ went on floors four years ago and remains marred with sporadic delays due to the pandemic. However, the leading actor has no qualms about how his character may be affected. Prabhas said, “I’m used to doing films which take four and half years.” However, he adds that he would rather work on a single project over a period of time.
“I was shooting for ‘Saaho’ as well as ‘Radhe Shyam’ which became a bit problematic. In the past also, I worked on two Telugu films at the same time. But doing one film and concentrating on that is always more comfortable than doing multiple projects simultaneously,” Prabhas said. Despite delivering blockbusters like ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ in 2015 and ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ in 2017, Prabhas said he is nervous before the release of ‘Radhe Shyam’ as it is mounted on a “huge budget”.
He said, “We always thought we would finish the film in £15 million. But due to delays, the budget increased to £30 million. Moreover, the producers didn’t want to compromise on the portions where we were shot on a ship. I feel the box office pressure and it’s very stressful.”
Prabhas says he wants to do “something different and artistic” after every three tent-pole films. “I’m already planning a comedy film which is not mounted on a huge scale. I don’t always want to do big films. I don’t want the audience to think that every film Prabhas is coming out with is a big one. I might also do a small love story for which I may not even take any remuneration.”
