Headlining the country's biggest blockbuster "Baahubali" had its effects on Prabhas, who now feels the pressure to deliver again riding on him.

With the "Baahubali" series, Prabhas became a pan-India star, with his popularity even reaching international regions.

Prabhas says the SS Rajamouli-directed franchise will never be forgotten, "whatever happens", but he has to move on and is ready with his latest action-thriller "Saaho".

In an interview with PTI, Prabhas says "Saaho" was "mentally stressing" not because of the director or the script "but because of the baggage which Rajamouli gave me."
"You lose that freedom to go anywhere anytime without being recognised. As a Telugu actor, I could go anywhere. But this is a beautiful thing though."
"For 'Saaho' we thought we will plan everything and finish it in one year. But we didn't have a reference for a lot of things in 'Saaho' when it comes to action, sets among others. So that took time."
"I want to do more films now. I've been kind of slow for the last six years now, though it has been so rewarding. I want to do at least one film a year, at least."
