Director
Maruthi
has
carved
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
Telugu
film
industry
with
stories
that
entertain
and
send
across
a
message.
He
has
several
hits
to
his
kitty
and
worked
with
several
star
heroes
despite
falling
success.
However,
Maruthi
made
headlines
when
he
announced
that
his
next
film
will
be
with
Prabhas.
Prabhas,
who
is
known
for
his
down-to-earth
and
friendly
nature
is
said
to
have
given
a
nod
to
Maruthi
when
he
was
asked
to
do
a
film
with
him.
Prabhas,
following
the
huge
success
of
Baahubali
has
been
doing
films
back-to-back,
which
are
releasing
all
over
the
world
in
many
languages.
Prabhas
is
still
the
face
of
pan-Indian
films.
Despite
the
criticism
his
latest,
Om
Raut's
Adipurush's
first
look
teaser
drew,
the
actor
is
unperturbed
about
it
and
is
continuing
to
do
his
work.
According
to
the
latest
buzz,
director
Maruthi
is
said
to
have
finalized
not
one
but
two
female
leads
for
his
film
starring
Prabhas.
Malavika
Mohanan,
who
appeared
in
Petta
and
Master
in
Tamil
is
said
to
be
one
of
the
two
and
Nidhhi
Agerwal
as
the
other.
The
movie
is
touted
to
be
a
horror
entertainer
and
grapevine
has
it
that
the
official
puja
ceremony
will
be
held
on
October
17.
People
Media
Factory
is
bankrolling
the
movie.
Meanwhile
Prabhas
is
busy
shooting

K
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
and

Padukone.
His

is
also
said
