Rebel Star Prabhas is currently one of the busiest actors in the film industry. He has effectively capitalized on the craze generated by Baahubali by choosing diverse roles. However, his last two films, despite having good pre-release buzz, failed to capture audience interest, resulting in disappointing box office performances. The failures in question are Saaho, an action film, and Radhe Shyam, a simple love story. The scripts for both films were straightforward and could have been executed on a reasonable budget. However, the makers, influenced by the Baahubali craze, overspent on production values, which proved unnecessary for these particular stories, leading to financial losses and a lack of audience engagement.
Despite this downturn, Prabhas’s stardom remains unaffected. This is primarily due to the anticipation surrounding his upcoming projects, which seem promising and have garnered eager anticipation from fans. One such project is Salaar, where Prabhas will showcase a mass look, promising to be a treat for his fans. Another noteworthy project is Project K, boasting a stellar cast, and the released glimpses have generated high anticipation among both fans and netizens. Additionally, Prabhas is collaborating with renowned director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a project titled Spirit, marking another milestone in his career.
While some sections of the audience express contentment with Prabhas’s lineup of mass projects, others yearn to see him in vintage looks, starring in simple yet beautiful love stories and family entertainers akin to Darling and Mr. Perfect. Prabhas is not disappointing this audience segment, as he is already committed to a project with director Maruthi falling into this genre, with Malavika Mohanan playing the love interest.
The latest update reveals that Prabhas has approved a script and will soon be working with director Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his memorable period romantic drama film Sita Ramam. Sources disclose that Vishal Chandra Sekhar has been finalized to compose the music, and the project will be bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers. Although the film’s genre is yet to be disclosed, many anticipate it to be either a love story or a family entertainer, enriched with Hanu’s unique storytelling touch.
In his pursuit of success, Prabhas is meticulously choosing diverse projects in his career. The audience hopes for his triumph, starting with Salaar, which is scheduled for a grand release on December 22nd, 2023.
