Nag Ashwin praises Prabhas

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Nag was asked whether Prabhas had any issues with so much focus of the film being directed on the characters played by Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. To this, Nag replied, "I don't think we had those sort of discussions. For a star of his stature, Prabhas has very little issues about things like this. He is fully for the story. Once he listened and okay-ed the story way back in the day, he has been fully onboard and very supportive."

“I think in retrospect, I feel that it was a big deal for a mainstream actor to get hit by another actor; Living in a world where all these heroes are untouchable. So it was a big deal but he [Prabhas] was totally onboard. He wanted to get hit by Amitabh Bachchan. It was awesome. He was like, ‘Sir, hold me tighter,'" Nag added.
