It is not wrong to say that Prabhas loved and breathed like his character in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali. He put everything he had into the two-part franchise for 5 long years. But would he ever commit to a film like that in the future? 

Well, the actor is not willing to. In a 2018 throwback interview, Prabhas talked about not giving such long years of his career to a film like Baahubali. 

When Prabhas opened up about giving 5 years to SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 

SS Rajamouli’s directorial venture Baahubali changed Prabhas’ life and career trajectory. Looking at the craze for the two-part film franchise, it is safe to say that it even changed the dynamics of Indian Cinema forever.

However, it was not an easy job for the actors, directors, and technicians involved in the film. A rigorous 5 years is what it took for Baahubali (both parts) to make it to the silver screens. As per a report in Koimoi, the Saalar actor talked about not giving such a long time to any film in the future. 

Prabhas said, “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.”
