Prabhas helped Jagapathi Babu through depression
Speaking about a difficult phase in his life to Moneycontrol, Jagapathi Babu revealed that he once reached out to Prabhas while battling depression. At the time, Prabhas was shooting in Georgia, but immediately offered his support and encouragement. Recalling the conversation, Jagapathi Babu said, “I was going through depression and wanted to speak to him. At that time, Prabhas was shooting in Georgia. He told me, ‘Darling, I am there. Tell me your problem, I will solve it,’ and gave me a lot of confidence.”
The veteran actor added, “His words motivated me and gave me courage. Though he is younger than me, he has a very big heart. He loves and cares for everyone.” Jagapathi Babu also shared that Prabhas personally visited him after returning from the shoot.
Jagapathi Babu on SS Rajamouli’s humility
Apart from Prabhas, Jagapathi Babu also had high praise for filmmaker SS Rajamouli and his family. He said that despite achieving global recognition, Rajamouli continues to remain humble and grounded. “Even after winning many awards, Rajamouli remains humble and grounded. He has no ego at all, and his entire family is the same. They treat everyone with care and affection,” he said.
Jagapathi Babu further appreciated the director’s professionalism and fairness in casting. “Rajamouli selects the actors based on suitability to the character and not because of closeness to him,” he stated. He believes that people could achieve success in both career and life if they adopted even a fraction of the discipline and values followed by Rajamouli’s family.
Prabhas’ workfront
On the work front, Prabhas has several highly anticipated projects lined up, including Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2 and Spirit. He will reprise his role as Bhairava in the sequel to Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi epic, while also collaborating with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for Spirit, which is slated for release in 2027.
