Actor
Prabhas
recently
surprised
fans
by
announcing
his
next
pan-India
project,
Adipurush,
which
is
being
helmed
by
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
fame
Om
Raut.
The
Rebel
Star's
22nd
film
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
most
expensive
films
of
his
career.
Producer
Bhushan
Kumar
is
not
leaving
any
stone
unturned
to
make
it
grand.
But
do
you
know,
there
is
a
very
interesting
story
behind
Prabhas'
casting
for
Adipurush.
As
per
a
report
published
in
an
entertainment
portal,
Prabhas
was
earlier
approached
by
Arjun
Reddy
director
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga
for
his
next,
which
will
also
be
produced
by
T-Series.
Sandeep
had
also
narrated
the
script
to
the
Rebel
Star,
but
he
couldn't
manage
to
impress
him.
On
the
other
hand,
Prabhas
was
also
looking
forward
to
doing
something
as
big
as
Baahubali.
At
that
time,
Om
Raut
offered
his
next
epic
drama,
Adipurush
and
undoubtedly,
the
Baahubali
star
loved
the
script
and
gave
his
nod
to
the
project.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
about
the
same.
But
if
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Prabhas
seems
to
have
given
preference
to
Om
Raut
over
Sandeep
Reddy
Vanga.
After
Prabhas'
confirmation,
Om
Raut
quickly
announced
Adipurush
on
social
media,
and
since
then,
fans
can't
keep
calm
to
witness
the
magnum
opus
on
the
silver
screen.
Talking
about
Adipurush,
the
film
is
based
on
the
Indian
epic,
Ramayana
which
revolves
around
the
theme
of
the
victory
of
good
over
evil.
Prabhas
is
reportedly
playing
the
role
of
Lord
Rama
in
the
film.
