Despite being one of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema, Prabhas does not seem to take his stardom too seriously. While this reflects his humble personality, many feel it is affecting him professionally.
His relaxed approach is now being questioned by fans.
The kind of creative decisions Prabhash has been taking in recent times has left many confused. Several of these choices appear odd and difficult to justify. Fans believe these decisions are impacting the overall quality of his films.
Instead of collaborating with established filmmakers, Prabhas continues to experiment with non mainstream elite film makers. While experimentation is healthy, fans feel it carries risks at his level. They believe this approach is not yielding the desired results.
Many fans point out that a big film succeeds only when a strong director and a star hero come together. It cannot be a one sided effort where everything depends only on the hero. A capable director plays an equally important role.
According to fans, only when Prabhas works with a mainstream film maker who has a reputation to protect can quality output be ensured. Otherwise, the blame falls entirely on Prabhas. The director, in such cases, has little to lose.
Fans are urging Prabhas to collaborate with capable directors who have strong credibility. They feel such filmmakers will be more attentive and committed to their projects. Without this balance, his films may continue to suffer.
Many people also believe that the failures of Prabhas's recent films are due to his creative approvals. They argue that he is responsible for final decisions, not the directors alone. This makes him the primary target when films fail.
However, pointing fingers at one individual when things go wrong is common in the film industry. Prabhas is likely aware of the criticism. Fans hope he will make wiser choices in his upcoming projects.
