Shruti Haasan praises co-star Prabhas; says he's quite, 'chill and friendly off-screen'

Shruti Haasan, who plays Aadya in Prashanth Neel directorial ‘Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire’, has praised her co-star in the film.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the ‘Ramaiya Vastavaiya’ actor said Prabhas is quite “interesting” as a co-star. She said, "Prabhas is powerful and magnetic".“I partly said yes to Salaar just to act with him,” told Shruti. She added, “He’s quite chill, friendly and relaxed off-screen. He’s more kind, thoughtful and generous than people would expect.”

Talking about how he can easily change from his brooding character to his actual persona with ease, she said “But when Prashanth would call action, a whole different Prabhas would show up.” Calling him 'Magnetic,' she said that 'watching him switch from himself to Deva is like watching a magic trick happen.'

Talking about her character she said, “Aadya is a misfit in that violent world, and it was interesting to see things unfold through her eyes,” she adds.

In an earlier interview, SS Rajamouli had expressed disappointment on Shruti not having a dance number in the film. He said, “I like her songs from Race Gurram and Srimanthudu, I love her dancing. I just learnt there are no duets in the film. Prashanth, you disappointed me.”

Reacting to Rajamouli's statement, Shruti said, “It made me super happy to know that Rajamouli sir likes my dancing,” she says, adding, “But when I signed this project, I knew the story was the focus here. It’s the story that made me want to be part of Prashanth’s world.”
