In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Kalki 2898 AD director Nag Ashwin shed light on Prabhas’ character Bhairava being goofy and funny. Check it out!
Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan has been making quite the sensation in theaters. Now, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, director Nag Ashwin himself shares some details about his recent hit and how he formulated the character Bhairava.
During the conversation, the director went on to reveal, “I genuinely think Prabhas has a very interesting sense of humor and body language which we don’t have to see him like a macho man all the time. Like always bending iron rods or hitting people.”
Nag Ashwin on how Prabhas added his elements to Bhairava from Kalki 2898 AD
Nag Ashwin further added, “I just thought he can be a warrior, he can be a great fighter, and still be real. I really enjoy Prabhas being real, maybe it was one movie of his in the past that was sort of like that and that was always my reference point. Once I met him and spent more time with him, I realized this is what I’d like to see him like and Bhairava was always like that.”
He also shared whether Bhairava was a mixture of Prabhas in real life and the character as he revealed, “Bhairava was always written to be a bit goofy and funny. Definitely, Prabhas added more things to it which made it more real.”
