Prabhas, a beloved figure in both South Indian cinema and Bollywood, has earned his fame through sheer dedication. Known for his lucrative film contracts, the 'Baahubali' star does something quite exceptional behind the scenes – he doesn't push the burden of his expenses onto producers and filmmakers, choosing instead to bear the costs personally.
Prabhas Doesn't Charge Extra Fees
In an interview with Great Andhra, an industry insider disclosed this lesser-known trait about Prabhas. 'His approach towards fees and handling expenses is uniquely respectful, earning him great admiration among filmmakers,' said the source. Unlike others who might charge extra for their entourage's expenses, Prabhas's respectful approach includes not demanding a single penny over his agreed-upon fee.
Pays Out of Pocket
The source goes on to say that Prabhas arrives in his own vehicle, while his crew has a separate car arrangement. Even though the production provides a caravan, he doesn't seek additional payment for it. 'Other stars might bill the producer for drivers' salaries during film shoots, but Prabhas does none of that. He not only orders food for his team on his dime, but also pays his body doubles and bouncers without placing any financial strain on the producer. This kind of behavior isn't found in other stars, which is why producers always show great appreciation for Prabhas,' the insider noted.
On the work front, Prabhas's last release, 'Salaar', was a box office sensation. He is currently working on 'Kalki 2898' and also preparing for 'Salaar 2'.
