Salaar director Prashanth Neel says his personal life not ‘great’, reveals he meets his kids once in three months: ‘That too when they cry’

Filmmaker Prashanth Neel’s next film Salaar, starring Prabhas is all set to release in theaters tomorrow. Ahead of the release, the filmmaker discussed the mental and physical stress that has been affecting him. He said that his demanding schedules have also impacted his personal life and revealed that he meets his kids once in three months. 

In an interview with Kairam Vaashi, Neel was asked about the physical stress he goes through while filming a movie. The director said, “Physically very bad, it is a part of that stress. My personal has been not great, but that is something that I have accepted. Why would I have taken Salaar immediately after that (KGF)? That is a personal choice I made. My family also knows about it. I have not given enough time for my kids. I meet my kids once in three months, that too when they cry.  I immediately go. But I have chosen to do it. It’s not a penalty, it’s a personal choice. I have been a bad father, bad husband, bad son, bad brother and a horrible friend. Everything I have sacrificed for cinema and what I want to get out of cinema.” (Sic)

The director continued, “Stress levels for me are based for me only about the movie. It’s not about my personal agenda. I am responsible for a lot of people. I have the threshold for that kind of stress. Every director goes through it.”
