In a recent Instagram live, Nag Ashwin opened up about Prabhas' character, Bhairava. He revealed that Prabhas will make an entry 20 minutes after the film starts. He also called the character a ‘light-hearted fun' one.

He said, “People love Prabhas and all the characters he played. Bhairava is innocent in a way, but he is also a superhero. It is a mix of everything. The character will appeal to kids immensely. If a 10-year-old kid loves Prabhas, seeing him as Bhairava, he will love him forever. Bhairava is not the guy who talks about philosophy. He is an easygoing person. That’s how a normal person behaves.''
