When Prithviraj Sukumaran revealed 'The Raja Saab' actor Prabhas’ charming disconnection from stardom

Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the most adored stars in the film industry, and in a world driven by glitz and glamour, it’s rare to find someone like him who chooses to keep a low profile. Despite his massive stardom, Prabhas is one of those few celebrities who genuinely prefer to stay away from the constant spotlight.In fact, his Salaar co-star, Prithviraj Sukumaran, once shared that Prabhas isn’t even fully aware of the scale of his own fame. In a throwback interview with Pinkvilla, Prithviraj fondly praised the superstar, calling him a true “darling”—a ”title that perfectly matches his humble nature.Explaining further, he said, "He is one of those huge stars who are delightfully unaware of his own stardom." He will be on set and will be the last person to sit down.

If another actor doesn’t have a chair, he will keep standing till they get one. He is a gentleman. Never once did I feel that I was in another industry, so I am not the lead star on a set. That thought didn’t even cross my mind. Prabhas is a big star but comfortable and secure enough to have another actor play such a big role, have screen time, and have so much importance throughout the film.

"He also shared what kind of films Prabhas would like to do. "When I talk to him about the films that he wants to do, he keeps telling me, ‘Sir, it’s kind of a trap after Baahubali.

I keep getting pushed to these big-ticket, Rs 400-500 cr films, but as an actor, I also want to try different things. I want to do a love story, a comedy.’ "It is amazing he thinks that way," he remarked.After the adrenaline-pumping action and gripping storyline in Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, all eyes are now on its much-awaited sequel. Titled Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryanga Parvam, the follow-up has quickly become one of the most anticipated films on the horizon.Producer Vijay Kiragandur had earlier confirmed that the script was locked as early as January 2024. Interestingly, he described the sequel as having a “Game of Thrones” vibe, promising a rich blend of drama, power struggles, and intense action.However, fans might have to wait a little longer than expected. Recent updates suggest that Salaar 2, along with Kalki 2898 AD – Part II, has faced some production delays. Prabhas is now set to begin work on a new fantasy project with director Prasanth Varma before returning to the sequels. With this shift in schedule, there’s a strong possibility that the release of Salaar 2 could be pushed to late 2025 or even into 2026.
