He continued, “Prabhas is Telugu and you have to understand that, he is huge. He is like a god… Many elements that people perceived in the first half of the film, because of its length, they could not understand and they were like, ‘Let’s move on with the story’. But the fact is that the first half is like an introduction for the hero of the film, but not just the film, but the hero of the Telugu-speaking nation as well. That is something that people miss.”
Bachchan praised Nag Ashwin’s portrayal of Prabhas as a divine character and said, “’I have never lost a fight and I never will’, are actually the words of Krishna. And you have given them to Prabhas, to Bhairava. For the Telugu nation which is crazy about Prabhas, it has an alternative meaning,” he said. Bachchan said he has already watched the film four times and is excited to discuss it with his son Abhishek Bachchan and his granddaughterThe movie has It earned over 1000 crores worldwideand it has become Prabhas’ second consecutive hit after a series of box office failures.
