Salaar was undoubtedly a much-welcome film, considering the box-office slump the Baahubali actor has been facing for a while now. However, his portrayal as Deva in Prashanth Neel’s action entertainer is perhaps one of the milestone performances in the actor’s career. In the latest update, Prabhas opened up about the criteria with which he chooses his films in an interview with India Today.

Talking in the interview, Prabhas revealed that his only goal is to entertain the maximum number of people worldwide with his work. He further added that this is the same rationale behind attempting various genres.
