Don't like being typecast: Prabhas
Date: 10/05/2010
After the success of Darling, it seems lady luck is finally smiling on Prabhas. The hit comes in the wake of a series of flops and no one is happier than the “young rebel star”.
Having signed two more films, Prabhas is quick to defend the accusation that his earlier movies had become “clichéd”. “I have had six hits in my 14-movie career. If they didn’t do well in the last few years it could be because I chose wrong subjects or the filmmaker did not treat the movie right. But I am glad this movie worked,” he admits.
The two new films he has signed will be directed by Rajamouli and Dasarath and he stoutly refuses to admit that young actors like him work only with established directors because they lack confidence. “We sign movies with established directors because we are confident they will bring out a better product. I did work with new directors but those didn’t do well. But I am all for acting in a movie directed by a fresher because they have new ideas,” he says.
Prabhas is also wary of being typecast in his macho “mass” image. His fans don’t want him to die in films. To avoid this macho hero-who-can’t-die trap, he has to do rom-coms. “I don’t like being typecast, so I am working in films that have a balance of both fights and family entertainment,” he says.
The young actor who claims to be good friends with Allu Arjun, Puri Jagannath and Gopichand says he does not let competition hamper his relationship with friends. “There is severe competition among us. But once we are out of the sets, we don’t see each other as competitors. If we do so, we won’t have friends.”
Ignoring the fashion critics’ remarks about his recession-hit looks he says that fans should accept him as he is. “They should accept me the way I look. I dress well if I am in a good mood but often I am lazy and end up going out in whatever I feel like. In films, I am there to entertain, but off-screen, I want to be myself,” he concludes.
