Prashanth Neel, the man behind popular movies like kgf and Salaar, made the shocking admission that his personal taste in movies differs greatly from the fast-paced action movies he creates.  Neel, a creator of fantastical stories, acknowledged that he wouldn't typically watch his own films on television.  If given the option, he would like to create family dramas like Hum Aapke Hain Koun or mind-bending thrillers like Inception.
 
However, Neel accepted the commercial realities of the South indian cinema industry, where box office decisions are made by mass entertainers.  He now concentrates on creating action-packed, crowd-pleasing shows as a result of this.  His next projects, Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryanga Parvam and NTR31 (working title Dragon), will carry on his run of hits.
 
Neel's candid revelation draws attention to the conflict that exists in filmmaking between artistic preference and financial feasibility.  His promise to consistently provide box office hits has solidified him as one of the greatest indian filmmakers, despite the fact that he is unable to produce the movies that he personally appreciates.  Sometimes the greatest artists are the ones who can strike a balance between their ambitions and the demands of the box office, which is a testament to his adaptability and understanding of both art and audience.
