{{/usCountry}}Prashanth has said that the human element within the story, an important aspect for making a massy entertainer, may have worked in the film’s favour. “The human element is the first thing that we should put in a big movie. When you talk about larger-than-life movies, that human element binds everything together. Like, the way the characters behave should look human to you. We put in a lot of prominence to this (human element) while filming the first and second chapter," he told PTI in an interview.
