HOW HONEST! Prabhas Will NEVER Take This RISKY Step Again; FEARS That It'll Be Bad For His Career
He lived and breathed Baahubali for five years, a role that established him as India's latest heartthrob but Prabhas says he will not be able to devote so much time in a future project.
Prabhas
will
not
do
films
like
Baahubali
again;
Here's
why

He
lived
and
breathed
Baahubali
for
five
years,
a
role
that
established
him
as
India's
latest
heartthrob
but
Prabhas
says
he
will
not
be
able
to
devote
so
much
time
in
a
future
project.
The
38-year-old
actor
believes
as
a
performer
he
has
a
shelf-life
and
taking
such
a
risk
again
can
have
an
adverse
effect
on
his
career.
I
Can't
Give
Five
Years
To
A
Film
Now
"Actors
have
limited
time.
We
also
have
a
shelf
life.
I
think
I
can't
give
five
years
to
one
project
now.
Even
if
I
ever
give
that
much
time,
I
will
simultaneously
keep
doing
other
projects
because
age
is
also
a
factor.
It
will
not
be
good
for
my
career," Prabhas
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
Baahubali
Was
'Once-in-a-lifetime
Opportunity'
The
actor
said
the
two-part
fantasy
drama
was
a
"once-
in-a-lifetime
opportunity" and
he
was
aware
that
the
grand
scale
of
the
project
demanded
a
certain
level
of
dedication.
Prabhas
wants
to
build
upon
his
success
and
take
his
career
forward
with
projects
that
have
universal
appeal,
something
that
Baahubali
achieved.
Prabhas'
Only
Concern
Is
To
Choose
Project
With
A
Universal
Appeal
"Most
of
my
projects
now
will
have
a
universal
appeal.
Regional
cinema
is
different,
so
now
I
am
trying
to
choose
stories
that
cater
to
my
audiences
across
the
country.
I
will
do
stories
which
most
of
the
audiences
like."
Prabhas
On
His
Bollywood
Debut
Given
his
pan-India
appeal,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
speculation
about
Prabhas'
Bollywood
debut.
"I
am
definitely
interested
in
doing
films
in
Bollywood.
And
not
only
in
Hindi,
I
am
open
to
working
anywhere
in
the
country,
even
if
it
is
Punjabi.
I
will
do
films
in
any
of
the
languages,
provided
the
script
is
good.
The
region
and
the
language
don't
matter."
Prabhas
Is
Interested
In
Dark
Film
The
actor
said
his
aim
as
an
actor
is
to
deliver
mainstream
entertaining
fare.
"I
want
my
films
to
be
entertaining,
not
comedy,
but
something
which
is
gripping.
In
future,
I
may
do
a
dark
film
but
currently
entertainment
is
the
main
criterion."
For
the
Hindi
version
of
Baahubali,
Sharad
Kelkar
dubbed
for
Prabhas
but
the
actor
is
working
on
his
diction
and
wants
to
use
his
own
voice
in
future
projects.
"Dubbing
for
myself
in
Hindi
is
a
big
task.
I
know
Hindi.
I
can
read
and
write
Hindi
but
I
don't
normally
speak
the
language
and
that
is
very
important.
I
still
have
that
South
Indian
accent.
But
I
am
working
on
it.
Hindi
audiences
should
feel
that
I
am
speaking
like
them
and
should
relate
to
me."
Prabhas,
who
is
currently
working
on
Saaho,
which
also
stars
Shraddha
Kapoor,
said
the
team
has
shot
for
around
50
days.
The
actor
will
be
joining
Shraddha
soon
for
a
month
long
schedule.
