During an Instagram live session on Wednesday with director Nag Ashwin, Prabhas delighted fans by revealing that South Indian heartthrobs Dulquer Salmaan and Vijay Deverakonda are also part of the project. Prabhas expressed his heartfelt gratitude to both actors and said, 'Thanks to Dulquer, thanks to Vijay, they made our film bigger.'
During the conversation, Ashwin also revealed that Prabhas will make his entrance 20 minutes into the film. He said, 'I will scream for Prabhas’ entry. I am not the kind of person who screams in theatre. But I will shout when I see Prabhas’ entry. His entry will be a bit late. Prabhas will appear after 20 minutes. The world-building will take some time. We need to introduce a lot of characters and tell the story. But people will go home with Bhairava being the most loved character.”
Sharing details of Prabhas' character he said, “People love Prabhas and all the characters he played. Bhairava is innocent in a way, but he is also a superhero. It is a mix of everything. The character will appeal to kids immensely. If a 10-year-old kid loves Prabhas, seeing him as Bhairava, he will love him forever. Bhairava is not the guy who talks about philosophy. He is an easygoing person. That’s how a normal person behaves.”
