Notably, it is an original script and not a remake or biopic. In an interview with IndiaToday.in, Nag Ashwin had said, “I’ve been writing a new project. It’s an original story so it’s taking a long time to come up with the screenplay. I’m sort of slow between projects.”

Talking about the actor, Prabhas is well known for his performances in the SS Rajamouli films Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. He has also starred in movies including Mirchi, Denikaina Ready, Rebel, Adavi Ramudu, Chakram, Raghavendra, Ek Niranjan, Pournami, Bujjigadu, Billa and Darling among others.

Prabhas was last seen in the movie Saaho which released in Hindi, Telegu and Tamil. Besides Prabhas, Saaho also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi.
