Men will be Men: Prabhas, Big B race to help pregnant Deepika walk down the stage; Amitabh playfully chided Prabhas for winning
The soon-to-be-mommy was glowing like never before. Deepika who is merely a few months away from delivering her child was taking care and precautions of herself while walking down the stage and sitting.
Apart from Deepika, the Kalki event saw Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan in attendance.
Several videos and pictures of the event have surfaced online.
Deepika jokes about her baby bump
After the introduction, Deepika made her entry on stage, she spoke about working with director Nag Ashwin, describing it as a great learning experience. Deepika said. "It has been an incredible experience. Like Mr Bachchan said, it is a completely new world. We went through different phases of discovering what this movie was about, but I think the magic that is in Nagi's head is now finally here for everyone to see. We have discovered that along the way. It has been an incredible experience both personally and professionally."
Rana asked if Deepika decided to stay in character even after finishing the film where she plays a pregnant Sumati (or SUM-80), and she joked, "The movie went on for three years, I was like, why not 9 months more".
Deepika added, "I'm actually like this because of all the food Prabhas fed me. It got to the point where it was a full catering service, not just food from home (sic)."
Amitabh and Prabhas rush to help pregnant Deepika off the stage
A viral clip from the event shows lead actor Prabhas and veteran star Amitabh Bachchan rushing to help Deepika get off the stage.
As soon as Deepika got up from the couch, Rana first rushed to help pregnant Deepika and so did Prabhas. But Amitabh could be seen asking them to hold off as he wanted to help her on stage.
