Speaking to Pinkvilla, TG Vishwa Prasad revealed how South Indian cinema enjoys the presence of a few gods, with producers often eager to work with them.
Prasad said, “As a producer, you look forward to it. We have a lot of gods in the South, and working with any of them is a dream come true. We are lucky that we can work with some of them.”
Continuing the conversation, Riddhi Kumar said, “Personally, I think the concept of people loving an artiste so much is the biggest validation an artiste can get, and it’s really inspiring. It would be a dream to work with all the biggest stars of the South, just to understand who they are, what makes them who they are.”
She further added, “Like when I met Prabhas sir, I understood that he really is Baahubali. He really embodies that personality, almost like a king, and he deserves the love he gets because of the kind of person he is. I find him incredibly inspiring, and we can hope to achieve something like that someday.”
Furthermore, Nidhhi Agarwal said, “When I look at actors like Prabhas sir or Pawan Kalyan sir, I feel they deserve that status because they have put in years of hard work. And, honestly, they come up with the numbers; after a film is released what ultimately comes down to is, ‘How many people will come to the theaters and watch the film?’ Prabhas sir has done films like Baahubali, Kalki and even before this he has given many great films. I think he really deserves it.”
