Also adding that there will be many such films in future. On being asked if the actor would like to work in Bollywood further, he said it is the biggest film industry and he would love to work there. Initially, he was not able to take up projects because he was working for Bahubali and then Saaho.
Prabhas also shared his thoughts over the collaboration between actors from different regions and the idea of pan India films in the future of cinema in India. He said that pan India films should be made in order to reach a larger number of audience. This is also a way to take Indian cinema one step ahead.
