He added that he is proud of his son Rajamouli. “There was a time when he would be called Vijayendra Prasad’s son. I would have the desire to see him make an identity for himself. Today, I am being called his father. I am now worried because I have to match up to him,” Prasad said.

In 2017, Prasad-directed ‘Srivalli’ released and became a huge flop. After watching the movie, Rajamouli gave his father frank feedback. “He told me I don’t know filmmaking,” Prasad revealed with a guffaw.

The writer revealed that he dozes off while watching movies. “I don’t watch movies in general,” he added.

Prasad advised budding writers to learn telling lies as a survival strategy.
