Prabhas’ next to be a trilingual

Buoyed by the phenomenal success of ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, the makers of Prabhas’ next film are planning to target a larger audience. Reportedly, the splashing actor’s next film, to be directed by Sujeeth, would be a trilingual (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) and simultaneously shot in three languages.

Apparently, reputed production houses in Bollywood and Kollywood have approached UV Creations, who is bankrolling the masala fare, pitched the idea of executing the project. However, a decision is yet to be made in this connection.

A source close to the production house reveals, “While Sujeeth is preparing the script, the producers are being approached by various production houses from Mumbai and Chennai to execute the project in their respective territories.”

But what is it that nudges the filmmakers to tread the trilingual route? Apparently, the makers want to capitalise on the pan-Indian popularity Prabhas has acquired post the release of the Rajamouli’s epic drama.
