Making Rudhramadevi and Pratapa Rudrudu biopics was a dream of director Gunasekhar. His dream was half filled with making of Anushka starred Rudhramadevi. The historical drama made of whopping Rs 70 cr was a cost failure with 50 cr shares recovery from theaters.
In fact, Guna was lauded for his commitment. The director is now planning to make Pratapa Rudrudu, as announced in the end titles of Rudhramadevi. Names like Allu Arjun, Balakrishna, NTR etc. were heard to portray the influential role, but the latest to join the list in Prabhas.
As per latest reports, Gunasekhar is now willing to rope in Prabhas for Pratapa Rudrudu. But, he should wait at least two more years, even though Prabhas gives his nod for the project. Currently, Prabhas is shooting for Rajamouli directing Baahubali 2.
He will be engaged almost a year on the project to complete the shooting part and also on promotions. Then, he has committed to do a high budget entertainer with Sujeeth.
Prabhas also has few more projects in the pipeline. So, Gunasekhar needs to wait long time, if he wants to make Pratapa Rudrudu only with Prabhas. Will he wait for him such long period or look for other actor?
