Rebel star Prabhas has well and truly cemented himself as one of the busiest and most sought-after actors in the industry, with several big-ticket projects in hand. This year he’s finishing up Raja Saab, which was originally planned for release in December but has now been postponed to next year’s Sankranti. Simultaneously, Prabhas is shooting for Fauji, but there has been much buzz about his speculated partnership with the energetic director Prashanth Varma.
Despite Prashanth Varma’s silence about his project, he let something slip during an award function, recently. When asked about his film with Prabhas, Prashanth stated, “I’m ready. I will shoot the film once Prabhas gives me the dates.” This made Prabhas fans excited and wonder about what this could amount to. Given Prashanth’s body of work, it’s easy to say that the film is going be something special.
Prashanth Varma has established himself by continuously experimenting with creative frontiers. From Awe to Zombie Reddy and Hanuman, he has received accolades for his innovative storytelling and changing filmmaking front. After Hanuman, Prashanth has announced a bunch of new ventures like Jai Hanuman and Mahakali. He was also going to direct Nandamuri Mokshagna’s debut, although that one remains in the holding pattern.
The million-dollar question: When would Prabhas and Prashanth Varma finally collaborate? Although there is no definite timeline, both Prabhas and Prashanth have some prior commitments to fulfill. Prabhas has his hands full with Fauji, Spirit, Salaar 2, and Kalki 2, while Prashanth has several films lined up.
If this venture materializes, it could be a career-defining moment for Prashanth Varma. The audience is already excited to witness this exciting project, which can potentially be the biggest projects in the career of Prabhas. While we continue to wait for updates on it, the excitement only builds about what may be a groundbreaking pairing of talent for audiences in the theaters.
