Prabhas still has that 'Baahubali' hangover even weeks after completing the shoot. It's understandable because he has lived with the world of 'Baahubali' for more than four years. "I was told this idea 5 1/2 years ago by Rajamouli," he says.

The craze he has come to acquire after 'Baahubali', says Prabhas, are to be seen as the aftereffects of the magnum opus. "I don't take it seriously," he says on being reminded of how he has become a popular face among Tamils, Kannadigas and sections of North Indians. He is also ranked after Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan as the Most Desirable Man. "The flow as part of a wave (read 'Baahubali') is like that. I feel happy (about the journey), but I don't take the result seriously."

He is the first South Indian star to be honoured with a wax statue at Madame Tussauds. "When my friend called me up to break the news, he was speaking very fast in excitement. I didn't understand what he was trying to say, even though I heard him say that my statue will be put up in the league of Modi garu's statue at Tussauds. It gave me a high when I first came to know about it. I called up Rajamouli, Valli garu and others to my caravan to share the news. Rajamouli gave a wide smile. The Baahubali look will be in the league of Spiderman and Captain America. They have taken the measurements. But I am not worried about how much wax they will need because they anyways are not going to charge me," he says, smiling in his infectious style!

Sharing a joke about the much-asked 'Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?' question, Prabhas says, "When someone asked me this, I told him it will be revealed in the third edition. His heart skipped a beat," he laughs.

Listening to Keeravani's songs has been a pulsating experience. "My opinion is that the songs of 'Baahubali-2' are greater than those of the first part. The latter looked better with visuals, but these songs are looking great even audio-wise," he says.

Ask him about marriage, Prabhas says, "I don't have an answer right now. When it's happening, it will be all over TV and newspapers."

He is stunned by producer Sobhu Yarlagadda's calmness. "He was never angry even when the first part was being made. He never showed his tension. He staked his all ('Thala takattu pettaru'), but he always smiles," he says.
