Prabhas Explained Why He Has Signed So Many Films

Hyderabad, March 8 - The long wait for Prabhas' fans is coming to an end as his "Radhe Shyam" is finally releasing this Friday (March 11) in theaters. The period romantic film, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, was originally slated for 2021 release, but the covid-19 pandemic forced makers to change their plans like most other movies. ## Meanwhile, Prabhas made full use of the free time he got in the last two years, thanks to the pandemic. During the said period, the "Saaho" signed films after films that appeal to global audiences. He is one of the actors who like to finish one film before moving on to the next. But the pandemic made him work on multiple projects simultaneously to keep the fans entertaining once things turn normal. ## During a recent interview while promoting "Radhe Shyam", Prabhas explained the reason behind taking multiple films simultaneously. Being one of the fan favorites and called 'darling' by his well-wishers, the "Baahubali" star said that he loves to entertain his fans continously which is the main reason behind signing so many films. ## "I have signed many films for a reason. In the last 3 years, I have not had a release. My fans have been waiting to see me in multiple films. It's a payback time. I will treat them to big entertainers continuously. I owe to them. So, I have decided to have multiple releases", said the actor. ## ICYDK, Prabhas currently has five films under development at various stages of production, apart from "Radhe Shyam". He has already done shooting for Om Raut's magnum opus, "Adipurush", which is slated for January 12, 2023, release. He is also on the verge of completing Prashanth Neel's "Salaar", which will reportedly be released in two parts in 2023. ## Apart from the aforementioned films, the "Mirchi" actor is also shooting for Nag Ashwin's mega budgeted sci-fi film, tentatively titled "Project K". It also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in prominent roles. Then he has Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Spirit", in which he will play a cop for the first time in his career. The shooting for the same is expected to begin towards the end of this year. ## Prabhas also has director Maruthi's upcoming movie, for which the announcement is expected to be made soon. The unconfirmed reports have also stated that he is in talks with director Siddharth Anand for an action thriller film. Overall, the most-in-demand actor is super busy for the next two to three years. ## Stay tuned...
