Prabhas and his stardom are well-known to all who are enamoured by his stupendous craft. However, being an actor of such perfection, he too has qualms about certain scenes. In this case, Prabhas expresses his discomfort in filming kissing screens for his films, however respects the script if it demands so.
His upcoming film Radhe Shyam opposite Pooja Hegde is a romantic period drama, slated to release worldwide on March 11. This was one of those films where he had to commit to a kissing scene as per the storyline. Not just kissing scenes, but Prabhas has felt a little discomfort regarding taking off his shirt for some scenes. Even though he has had a noteworthy physical transformation for his mega-blockbusters – Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, he is not really into it.
Speaking to a leading daily, he revealed, “Director wrote like that and it’s a love story, so I can’t even say no. In a commercial film, we can still avoid it but in love stories, it is needed. Even now, I get uncomfortable with kissing scenes and removing my shirt. I check how many people are there on sets and say let’s go and do somewhere else. In Chatrapati also, Rajamouli sir made me remove my shirt on the sets and said you can now do anything.”
Radhe Shyam is one of the most anticipated period films releasing this year with the cast also including names such as Bhagyashree, Sachin Khedekar, Priyadarsi Pulikonda, and Murli Sharma. It is set in the 1970s era in Europe and the storyline revolves around a palmist Vikramaditya and his dilemma of choosing between his destiny and the love of his life – Prerana.
Prabhas further spoke excitedly about his reaction to the film’s plot, he said, “It has a very interesting storyline. It’s a war between love and destiny. There are going to be a lot of twists in the climax. My role Vikramaditya is a little complicated in the film but we have tried to put it in a very realistic, subtle, calm, and also energetic way. The visuals are never seen before, vintage, set in Europe.”
The film was slated to release in July last year but had been postponed for Covid restrictions.
