Jitin Gulati opens up about working with Prabhas

After nearly two years of working alongside Prabhas on ‘Fauzi’, Gulati says his experience has only reinforced the superstar’s reputation for being generous and humble. In fact, the actor reveals that Prabhas has been even warmer and more giving than the stories he had heard about him.Speaking to Variety India, Gulati said, “I had heard that he’s a very generous man and a good human being. Now I’ve had that experience firsthand.

He is one of those quintessential good guys who is always there, is the sweetest, is very generous, and is ready to help anyone. We’ve been shooting for the last two years, and I have seen him helping so many people around him.”Prabhas’ humility and generosity are not the only things that have left an impression on Gulati. The actor also got to sample the superstar’s much-talked-about home-cooked food.“Apart from his magnanimity and humility, I have also tasted Prabhas’ home-cooked food that he’s so well-known for.

I think that’s the best mutton I’ve ever had; I’m not exaggerating,” Gulati quipped.
