Despite the outbreak of coronavirus, the team of Prabhas20 flew down to Georgia in the first week of March and shot some crucial scenes in extreme weather conditions. However, after filming for a few days in Tbilisi, the makers decided to halt the shoot for the safety of the cast and crew, and returned to India. Once the prevailing lockdown gets lifted, the shooting of this untitled project is expected to resume and proceed on a pacey mode.
Starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde in lead roles, this most-anticipated film is directed by ‘Jil’ fame Radha Krishna Kumar. While the muhurat shot and the pooja ceremony took place way back in 2018, director Radha Krishna Kumar took to his social handle and shared a series of photos from the event as a throwback special.

While SS Rajamouli and VV Vinayak made their presence as the chief guests, the show-stealers of the event were Prabhas and Pooja. Showcasing friendly off-screen chemistry, the crazy duo can be seen all smiles at the movie launch.
Touted to be a period drama, the big-budget film is set against the backdrop of Paris in the 1920s and the protagonist will reportedly be seen as a fortune-teller. While Pooja Hegde is playing the love interest to Prabhas, Bollywood actress Bhagyashree will be seen as his mother.
