Prabhas wants to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal
Actor Prabhas, who became a household name across India with the two Baahubali movies, says that he might accept an offer from Bollywood after wrapping up the big-ticket Saaho.
There�s speculation about Telugu film actor Prabhas soon making his Bollywood debut � the smash hit Baahubali films, in which he played the lead, weren�t strictly Bollywood, though the Hindi versions gave the films an all-India audience. However, Prabhas says there�s still time. He plans to first finish his cinema projects in south India, especially the big-ticket trilingual action film, Saaho, co-starring Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor.
�I might do a Bollywood film. I�ve been [getting] some good offers,� says Prabhas. �But I�ll first need to finish Saaho, and a beautiful love story (that he has signed). The film is set in Europe of the 1960s-70s. We�re planning to wrap them up by June-July next year. After that, I�ll take up a Bollywood film.�
The actor says that more than the language of a film, what interests him are stories with a universal appeal. Such stories, much like Baahubali, have the potential to do well all over India, and in overseas markets, feels Prabhas.
�I want to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal,� says Prabhas. �The way Baahubali has connected with people all over India� it has given us recognition all over the country. It�s a humbling experience. I�m thankful to the entire team. [Filmmaker] SS Rajamouli�s vision worked. His magic worked and something really great happened. We all are going to remember it for the rest of our lives, and that�s beautiful.�
Given his popularity now in India and abroad, would the next step be an international film? Prabhas says, �I�ve never thought about doing international films. But if I get something exciting, I might take it up. Everything depends on what comes my way. Baahubali gave me something that�s really huge. So, as of now, I want to do Indian films.�
