Initial meeting
Bhave on meeting Prabhas for the 1st time
Bhave revealed to Variety India that he was introduced to Prabhas on the set of Adipurush.
"I met him on the set of Adipurush. Om Raut, who directed the film, had worked with me on his first Marathi movie, Lokmanya: Ek Yugpurush. He had called me to the set and introduced me to Prabhas; that's how we met."
Co-star's praise
'Prabhas is a fantastic human being'

"On the sets of Fauzi, though he is a very big superstar, he brought a lot of warmth and love. He was very cool."
"He made the other actors comfortable on the set... Prabhas is a fantastic human being. Despite being a big superstar, he doesn't bring his stature or status to the set."
