Q. How was it to work with Prabhas?

A. Prabhas is an absolute joy to work with. He is a Darling. He has absolutely no ego and he never treated me like a debut director. He gave me a lot of respect and co-operated completely. There were times when I asked him to perform for some very tough shots, but he never ever said no.  Prabhas is a passionate actor and I loved working with him.

Q. Are you happy with the response the music has been getting?

A. Yes. The audio has become a big hit and I am very happy with DSP’s work.

Q. What are your future projects?

A. I am currently working on a story. I will decide upon my future course of action after Mirchi’s release.

Q. What can viewers expect from Mirchi?
A. The film will be a stylish entertainer with good emotions. The story is paramount to the movie and all characters have good importance. Basically, after walking out of the theater, you will remember the characters by their names.
