Amitabh, Prabhas rush to help Deepika on-stage

At the event, Rana apart from the lead cast took the stage to discuss the film. After Amitabh, Kamal and Prabhas, Deepika was called on stage.

As soon as Deepika got up from the couch, Rana first rushed to help her as she’s pregnant, and so did Prabhas. But Amitabh could be seen asking them to hold off as he wanted to help her on stage.

As she got down from the stage, when Prabhas helped her off, Amitabh hilariously chided Prabhas for beating him to it, pulling him from behind, making fans and the media there laugh.

Deepika jokes about her baby bump

When Rana asked if Deepika decided to stay in character even after finishing the film where she plays a pregnant Sumati (or SUM-80), she joked, “The movie went on for three years, I was like, why not 9 months more.” She later also pulled Prabhas’ leg that he was the reason for the way her pregnant stomach looks. She said, “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. He feeds from the heart.” Before heading for the event, Deepika shared pictures of her dressed in a stunning black dress, writing, “Okay enough…Now I’m hungry!”
