As soon as the announcement of Prabhas’ upcoming film was made on February 26, 2020, there are many reports doing the rounds on social media regarding its release date. The director of the film Naag Ashwin took to Twitter and confirmed that the film will go on floor by the end of this year.
According to reports, the shooting of Prabhas’ yet-untitled film will be wrapped by July 2021 and it will will hit the theatres on October 16, 2021, coinciding with Dussehra holidays. However, the official announcement of Prabhas’ upcoming film release date is yet to be made.

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.”
