During the shooting of Adipurush in Mumbai, Prabhas had a special plan for the team. He shared about the same in a video interaction with Santosh Sobhan, Manasa Varanasi and the team of Couple Friendly.

Prabhas said that one morning he thought of having a “cheat day" during Adipurush shooting and asked everyone on the set not to eat their usual food. He told them that he would arrange a special meal for all of them. The team agreed and waited with excitement.

As time passed, the food did not arrive. Many people on the set became confused. They thought the food would come from a nearby restaurant in Mumbai. When they finally asked him about the delay Prabhas revealed the truth and said, “The food is coming from Chennai”.

Everyone was shocked. The food had been freshly prepared in Chennai, and it was packed carefully in hot carriers. A person carried the food on a flight and brought it directly to Mumbai. The meal reached the film set still warm and fresh. Talking about the same, Prabhas laughed and said, “It sounds crazy but I love original flavours”.

He also explained that even if similar food is available locally, he prefers the real taste from the place it belongs to. According to him, the long wait was completely worth it.
