SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali: The Conclusion has made Prabhas a global star and the directors from other film industries are standing in queues for his dates. After Karan Johar, one of the creative directors of Kollywood approached ‘Baahubali’ Prabhas for his next.
He is none other than Atlee, who is quite popular among Telugu audience for the dubbed version of his debut Raja Rani. Recently, he got a phenomenal success with Mersal and the rumour about Atlee plans to team up with Prabhas caught everyone’s attention a while ago. There is a speculation that Atlee might do his next with Vijay, but now it looks like the project might take some more time to hit the floors, as the director himself confirmed that his next is with a Telugu star only.
It is heard that Atlee is right now busy with the scripting work and will approach Prabhas with a full-fledged script in a couple of months. The director in a recent interview confirmed that the talks are going on though he didn’t reveal the name. But sources confirmed that Atlee wants Prabhas first and if the talks fail, then his immediate option is Allu Arjun.
We have to see which hero will make way for Atlee to get into Telugu market. But what is most important, will he stand up and deliver or falter like an AR Murugadoss whose direct Telugu films are failing to rattle box office.
