'Pen
is
mightier
than
sword'
-
the
old
saying
still
holds
true.
This
saying
is
generally
attributed
to
journalism,
however,
one
writer
in
the
cinema
industry
stands
as
a
testimony
to
the
same.
Ace
story
writer,
Vijayendra
Prasad,
father
of
SS
Rajamouli,
is
one
such
story
writer
who
is
in
huge
demand.
Recent
Success
The
75-year-old
writer
is
being
kissed
with
success
time
and
again
from
quite
some
decades
now,
but
the
recent
streak
of
success
being
embraced
by
Vijayendra
Prasad
is
commendable.
With
the
colossal
success
of
the
Baahubali
series,
the
Salman
Khan
starrer,
Bhajarangi
Bhaijan,
too
conquered
the
box
office.
Vijayendra
Prasad
came
back
to
South
after
hitting
the
bull's
eye
in
the
Bollywood
industry,
where
he
associated
with
director
Atlee
Kumar
for
Mersal.
Mersal
was
declared
as
the
biggest
hit
of
the
year
and
also
ended
up
as
the
career
biggest
flick
for
both
Vijay
and
Atlee.
Current
Project
Prasad
has
penned
story
for
the
upcoming
epic
biographical
Hindi
movie,
Manikarnika.
The
movie
will
be
based
on
Rani
Laxmibai
of
Jhansi
where
Kangana
Ranaut
will
be
seen
portraying
the
iconic
queen's
role.
Talented
director
Krish,
who
had
earlier
directed
challenging
flicks
like
Kanche
and
Gautami
Putra
Satakarni,
will
be
calling
action-cut
to
the
movie.
For
now,
the
movie
is
all
set
to
hit
screens
during
the
last
week
of
April.
The
Big
Buzz
According
to
the
latest
buzz,
Prasad
is
said
to
be
penning
a
script
for
yet
another
Hindi
movie
which
will
glorify
the
birth,
rise
and
achievements
of
Rashtriya
Swayamsevak
Sangh
(RSS).
Rumours
are
ripe
that
the
movie
might
be
backed
financially
by
BJP
and
Prasad
is
said
to
be
meeting
the
party's
national
leader,
Amit
Shah
for
certain
key
discussions
about
the
script.
Top
stars
and
well-known
technicians
from
the
Bollywood
industry
would
be
roped
into
the
prestigious
project.
Vijayendra
Prasad
is
well
known
to
generate
goosebumps
among
audiences
and
by
bringing
in
loads
of
emotions
with
his
storyline,
this
project
would
not
be
an
exception
as
the
theme
is
of
real
life.
Let
us
wait
for
an
official
word.
