Baahuabli star Prabhas to play the lead in Prabhudeva’s film

Prabhas is a nation wide star after the spectacular success of the Baahuabli franchise. He is currently the most wanted star in Indian cinema, with offers flooding him from across industries. As per latest reports, actor/filmmaker Prabhudeva will direct Prabhas’ next film after the ongoing Saaho.

It is worth a mention that Prabhas has previously made a guest appearance in Prabhudheva’s Hindi directorial Action Jackson. In a recent interview to leading daily Deccan Chronicle, Prabhudeva is quoted saying, “Prabhas is a dear friend and I’ve known him from the time he entered Telugu cinema. In fact, he sportingly did a cameo in my Hindi film Action Jackson. I’d love to direct him. And not just because of Baahubali.”

He continued, “There’s no point in doing a film together just because it makes business. I have been thinking of a film with Prabhas for a while now. Right now, he’s busy with his next Telugu film Saaho, post which we will do our film together.”

Prabhas has already started his works for the upcoming multilingual film Saaho, which is being directed by Sujeeth. Anushka Shetty is rumoured to be playing the female lead in the movie. Prabhas is sporting a new get-up for Saaho. He has taken off his ‘Baahubali’ beard and was last seen with a clean shaven look. He is also shedding the extra pounds that he gained for Baahubali. Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has been roped in to play the villain in Saaho.

The movie is produced by Vamsi Krishna Reddy and Pramod Uppalapati. It is reportedly being made on a whopping budget of Rs 150 crores. To cash in on the huge popularity of Prabhas, the makers are planning to release the movie in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam languages.
