Movies can be produced without the direct involvement of their heroes in shooting. However, this privilege is not enjoyed by everyone, but only by individuals like Prabhas and Pawan. It seems they have chosen to be part of such projects.
For instance, the movie 'OG' has already completed 50 percent of its shooting without Pawan's participation.
Similarly, the Maruti-Prabhas movie is progressing steadily even without Prabhas being physically present. This raises the question of how such a thing is possible.
There are two reasons behind this phenomenon.
Firstly, it depends on the length of the characters played by these heroes in the film. If the role is relatively short, they don't need to spend as many days on set.
Secondly, advancements in technology have made it possible to create movies like Adipurush with minimal involvement of Prabhas during the shoot. The utilization of CGI and VFX plays a significant role in achieving this.
The shooting experiences of Hari Hara Veeramallu and Ustad were quite challenging for Pawan as he had to be physically present on set.
The shooting for Ustad's movie, in particular, lasted only four days. Director Harish tweeted, "No one can stop us," and released a small teaser of Ustaad. However, since then, everything seems to have come to a halt.
Moreover, there is a false campaign on Twitter suggesting that the movie has been canceled. But that is an entirely different story altogether.
Pawan has deliberately chosen unique stories like OG and Bro films where his involvement required only 30-40 days of work.
On the other hand, the Maruti-Prabhas movie is progressing silently, without Prabhas participating much in the shooting. The outcome of these projects will determine the effectiveness of this method.
