In a conversation with Film Companion, Prakash Raj said, “I do some stupid movies only for money too. They ask me, ‘Why are you so loud?’ I say, ‘If I can overact, I can act too na.’ I don’t hate commercial films because there is an audience for them, there are makers, and there is an equal amount of hard work that goes into them. Then, there, they need me as a villain.”During the interview, the actor also talked about his choices. He revealed that there are times when his intellect questions him about why he does commercial films. At that time, the only answer he has for that is money.
