By Screen Entry Desk · 26 October 2026

Director Trivikram Srinivas, amid shooting for Aadarsha Kutumbam, dropped on a TV chat that Prabhas' humor has yet to be fully harnessed. He urges filmmakers to explore the star’s lighter side for fresh storytelling.
Renowned filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas is currently juggling the schedules of his upcoming family drama Aadarsha Kutumbam when he made a surprising appearance on the popular talk show Jayammu Nischayammu Raa Season 2. During the lively conversation, Trivikram turned the spotlight onto megastar Prabhas, praising the actor’s innate comic timing that, according to him, remains largely underutilised in mainstream cinema.
Trivikram recalled the few moments he has seen Prabhas crack jokes on set, noting that the star’s natural wit could add a new dimension to the larger‑than‑life characters he is famous for. “We have seen his intensity, his action chops, and his romance, but the audience hasn’t witnessed the full spectrum of his humor,” the director remarked, hinting that a well‑crafted comedy track could become a game‑changer for both the actor and the industry.
The director’s comments have sparked a buzz among producers and casting directors, who are now eyeing scripts that could blend Prabhas’ signature charisma with a more playful tone. Trivikram himself hinted that he might experiment with lighter scenes in Aadarsha Kutumbam, giving the star a chance to showcase his comedic flair without compromising the film’s core narrative.
For actors and filmmakers alike, the takeaway is clear: there is a growing appetite for fresh, genre‑bending performances. As Trivikram puts it, “When a talent like Prabhas is given room to laugh, the whole cinematic experience elevates.” This call to action could open doors for new collaborations, encouraging directors to craft roles that let the superstar’s humor shine.
The industry watches with anticipation, wondering when the next project will finally let Prabhas unleash the full range of his comedic potential, and whether this will set a new trend for Telugu cinema’s biggest names.
