Of course, people around him- we all expect that, and we all look up to him like that. I mean, the first day when I met him last year, I'm not joking. When he came on the set, it was actually like Amarendra Baahubali is walking on the set. Maybe it was because I never met him. It was before I said hello to him,” he said.Jitin also recalled seeing Prabhas walk onto the set in Hyderabad.“And of course we were shooting in the city in Hyderabad only, and he came on the set from the vanity. And when he's walking on the steps, you feel that there's a certain aura that has come. I mean, of course that all of that character is still there, but he himself does not carry that weight at all. He is very easy going. And I think he is one of the most endearing actors to work with,” he added.Jitin Gulati’s work frontJitin Gulati made his debut with ‘Warning 3D’ in 2013.
