The actor's comments come as a surprise, given that he has starred in several VFX-heavy films in recent years, including Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and Saaho.

"It's not that I don't like VFX films. I just don't like doing the same thing over and over again," he said. Prabhas went on to say that he was "buoyed" by the teaser of Kalki 2898 AD, which he felt was "different" from his previous films.
