After the worldwide success of ‘Baahubali’, Prabhas has become a national star so movie lovers may think he can do anything now. Well, as the famous line goes by, ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, the predicaments have just commenced for him. Living up to the image brought in by Baahubali is not easy, and hence Prabhas is in dire need of pan-India directors.
In order to bring pan-India appeal, makers of Saaho are running from pillar to post. They had to splurge hefty sum to sign Shraddha Kapoor to play female lead as no top league Bollywood actress generally shows interest in acting in South films. A brigade of Bollywood actors has also been roped in.
Both Prabhas and the producers haven’t had to take this much stress had they have a pan-India director on board. So, Prabhas has reportedly decided to work with directors who have nation-wide market. How many such directors are there put together in Bollywood and South?
Rumors are rife that Prabhas has held discussions with AR Murugadoss and they will collaborate in future. A project with director Shankar may also materialize. However, considering their prior commitments, it would take a few more years for Prabhas to work with these pan-India directors.
For both Saaho, and his immediate next project, a love story in Radha Krishna’s direction, Prabhas will have to carry the film on his shoulders only.
