When Prashanth Neel spoke candidly about his drinking habits and caught everyone off-guard!

Neel, while discussing his writing process in the interview, referred to a rather interesting "habit" of his that comes as a crucial aid. When he was questioned about the genesis of 'K.G.F' and his main inspiration behind its shaping, his response remained simple and very, very straightforward."You could always edit out my response but please retain it if you feel like it. Usually, I write my stories after drinking and put down my stories on paper in that state. And if I were to find the high after reading them the next morning, while being sober, then I realize that there is something to it. I don't particularly recall how 'K.G.F' was conceived first," said Prashanth Neel.
